Junebug
A quirky and funny film about family. The characters of Madeleine (a slightly stuck-up Brit who owns an outsider art gallery) and Ashley (very talkative and heavily pregnant country girl from North Carolina) really steal the show. The two women are from completely different worlds, but share one thing in common, both have married into a family that lacks the ability to communicate with one another. I found it a little bit of a slower starter, but once the main characters have all been introduced it really got going and was very funny.

Time to Leave
Time to Leave (Le Temps qui reste) is a film about dying, a subject that is tackled beautifully. Melvil Poupaud and Jeanne Moreau’s performances are excellent. This is possibly one of the best François Ozon films I’ve seen. The final scene is very visually striking.
