Junebug

An odd tale of culture clash (big city art scene type vs. small town Southerner) that almost but not quite pulls off its carefully balanced storytelling. There's enough sincerity and humor to hold things together through most of the running time, but much of its quirky charm is undone by the last reel, when an otherwise sprightly story turns into a big drag. A nice try, but feel free to let this one slip through the cracks.
