60 of 115 · most liked firstWe just saw Kate Winslet‘s movie that she directed called “Goodbye June”. We were very moved by it. The reality of the actor’s performances was amazing. Kate herself, who is a wonderful actress knows how to get performances out of her actors!
positive · AI labelView post →Goodbye June premier with my son Quinn. Beautiful directorial debut by Kate Winslet. See this film
positive · AI labelView post →A Good Goodbye We don't all get to say goodbye to our loved ones but if we are lucky enough to, it's important that we make it a good one because we all deserve a good goodbye. Goodbye June is in select UK cinemas now and on Netflix from 24th Dec. #GoodbyeJune @netflix.com
neutral · AI labelView post →I see that Goodbye June is number one on Netflix, look it isn't a great film, but it is very good and for a directorial debut it is a most excellent start, if she goes down that path, for Kate Winslet.

neutral · AI labelView post →My anti-depressants have been upped enough over the past 10 years of this bull-shite that I never shed a tear. Until recently watching the movie Goodbye June. Probably from pent up tears, but my sobbing concerned my dawgs so they closely followed me around the rest of the afternoon.
positive · AI labelView post →We watched Goodbye June on Netflix tonight. Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet, Toni Collette and many other good actors in the cast. Great movie! I held it together until the end, then 😭😭😭. Would recommend.
positive · AI labelView post →I took the time to look up the actor on the right, because the Times didn't. Fisayo Akinade plays Nurse Angel in Goodbye June. The screenplay--written by actor/director Kate Winslet's son, Joe Anders--took the time to give him a name and a character to play, so it's the least he deserves.

positive · AI labelView post →Just finished "Goodbye June", Directed by Kate Winslet Avoiding mawkish melodrama in this sort of film is tough, but Joe Anders' excellent script pulls it off Add in superb acting by a stellar cast and Winslet's keen eye for emotional truth, and you get a touching story worth watching #Scriptsky
positive · AI labelView post →Not sure if Goodbye June was the film I should have watched today as although I found many of the characters annoying, I was crying by the end.
neutral · AI labelView post →Slightly bizarre that I've been able to interview Kate Winslet not once, not twice, but three times now. Anyhow, here Kate is talking about her directorial debut film Goodbye June, on Netflix soon. www.thecurb.com.au/goodbye-june...

The website's consensus reads: "A family affair both on screen and behind the camera, Kate Winslet's directorial debut stacks the deck for tears a little too lopsidedly, but honest performances help put this drama's heart firmly in the right place."[11] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "mixed…

positive · AI labelView post →Kate Winslet's directorial debut, GOODBYE JUNE, written by her son, is hyperemotional tourism. We're here to see someone die, and her family be sad. We're not here to understand them, or their lives. My review of a film that made me think, "I hope when I die I have health care," is at @thewrap.com.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched "Goodbye June" with my family on Christmas Eve. It's a perfect happy/sad Brit Christmas movie. The cast are great & they look like they had an absolute hoot making it. Some of the reviews seem to be totally missing the point. It's a just a nice family story about sibling dysfunction.
positive · AI labelView post →Kate Winslet makes directorial debut with a holiday movie called “Goodbye June.” The drama will star Helen Mirren, Toni Collette, Winslet, Timothy Spall & Andrea Riseborough. Sounds like a tearjerker. #MovieSky #Filmsky #ChristmasMovie #KateWinslet #HelenMirren ❄️⛄️❄️⛄️❄️⛄️❄️⛄️❄️⛄️ people.com/kate-winslet...
neutral · AI labelView post →#MovieChallenge 3: Goodbye June. Kate Winslet pulls in a stellar British cast for her directorial debut. Written by her son (nepo alert), it does become a bit of a cosy, saccharine Netflix film but that cast elevates it. 6/10
neutral · AI labelView post →Goodbye June (2025) Review: Full of sadness & stress but dotted with occasional happiness & whimsy. Something you'd have to be in a particular mood for since it's technically a Christmas movie. Despite the drama it's an enjoyable watch & certainly has a lot of heart and soul put into it. 🎥7.5/10⭐
positive · AI labelView post →“Goodbye June” may be a bit unusual for a Christmas movie, but it ultimately captures the spirit of the season. Some advice: have a box of tissues handy. #filmsky #netflix

positive · AI labelView post →Two stars!!! Bradshaw has no sense of humour. None. 'Goodbye June' is an extremely funny movie, not the falling into a pool fully clothed kind of funny, but still funny. It gets a bit sad and serious toward the end but given mum is terminally ill, that's expected. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...
