Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz, Schindler s List) is a go-getting art gallery owner from Chicago, recently married to George (Alessandro Nivola, Goal!)., a near-perfect Southern beau. When Madeleine needs to close a deal with a reclusive North Carolina artist, George introduces her to his family: prickly mother Peg (Celia Weston, The Village), taciturn father Eugene (Scott Wilson, The Last Samurai), cranky brother Johnny (Ben McKenzie, The O.C.), and Johnny s pregnant, childlike wife Ashley (Amy Adams, The Fighter, Enchanted), who is awestruck by her glamorous sister-in-law.

Additional InformationA successful Chicago woman travels to rural North Carolina to meet an artist and meets her husband's family for the first time. When she does, she finds herself in a world totally different from her own, and sees a new side of her husband. Cosmopolitan Chicago couple Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) and George (Alessandro Nivola) meet at a fancy art auction where she is working as a dealer, and they are married six months later. Madeleine is recruiting an outsider artist, and she travels to rural North Carolina to meet him. George accompanies her--as he is originally from Pfafftown--and though it has been three years since he visited home, Madeleine insists on meeting his family. When she does, she finds herself in a world totally different from her own, and sees a new side of her husband. His mother Peg (Celia Weston) and father Eugene (Scott Wilson) are quiet homebodies who aren't sure what to make of Madeleine's sophisticated career and lilting British accent. George's deadbeat brother Johnny (Ben McKenzie) never finished high school and lives at home with his young wife Ashley (Amy Adams), who is naive and bubbly--and very pregnant. While the family's simplicity, traditional values, and religion make them suspicious of Madeleine, Ashley is the one bright-eyed spirit who is happy to have Madeleine as a sister-in-law and celebrates her marriage to George. Giving an art-film aesthetic to a touching family drama, director Phil Morrison and screenwriter Angus MacLachlan first feature film JUNEBUG was shot in their hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The film is set in nearby Pfafftown and Pilot Mountain, and the location is itself a character in the film as long sequences of soundless photography show rows of houses, or rooms in a house, or stretches of farmland--capturing the essence of this area of the American South. JUNEBUG is an effecting film that sheds light both on the always-surprising nature of in-laws and the unique culture of the South.
ReviewsThe Telegraph - Small quiet miracle, Time Out - Breathtaking visual textures, The Guardian - in this surprisingly charming movie, a creative genius spells trouble for one family, Total Film - a bug worth catching, Empire - An unexpected delight, NY Observer - One of the best pictures of the year, Daily Mail - fresh and delightfully distinctive, Marie Claire - A wise and beautiful film, Entertainment Weekly - [Amy Adams gives] a performance as deep as it is delightful. She's the film's heart and also its flaky wonderstruck soul.
