Junebug
A dealer in outsider art threatens the equilibrium of her middle-class
in-laws in North Carolina. Madeline is a go-getting art gallery owner
from Chicago, recently married to George, a near-perfect Southern beau.
When Madeline needs to close a deal with a reclusive North Carolina
artist, George introduces her to his family: prickly mother Peg,
taciturn father Eugene, cranky brother Johnny, and Johnny's pregnant,
childlike wife Ashley, who is awe-struck by her glamorous
sister-in-law. Madeline's presence exposes the fragile family dynamics
as hidden resentments and anxieties surface.
