Junie

About This Movie

Junie (2021) is a curious blend of mystery and psychological exploration. The film opens with this eerie tone, setting you right into Junie's disoriented world. As she grapples with her daily awakenings in the countryside – a setting that feels vast yet claustrophobic – it creates a palpable tension. The pacing is deliberate, inviting the viewer to sit with her confusion, and it really allows the atmosphere of isolation to seep in. The performances, especially by the unknown lead, have a raw, almost organic quality that aligns beautifully with the practical effects used to depict her illness. It’s a unique take on the struggles of young adulthood, layered with an unsettling ambiance that lingers long after the credits roll.
