Film-Forward Review: [JUNEBUG]
In a most graceful and gracious performance, Davidtz gives Madeleine an eloquent poise and warmth that allows the viewer to suspend judgment on all with whom she interacts. As George's mother, Celia Weston provides an engaging and understated balance of malaise and matriarch, and Scott Wilson brings to George's taciturn father a combination of simple-mindedness and soulful simplicity. -yes to each, apt descrip.
Where the story only becomes vague is in its sparse integration of George. - - ok agreed. It seems more a problem with Angus MacLachlan's script than that of Nivola's performance. The viewer is left to surmise that much of George's absence is based on his need for personal space away from his family.

imdb thread George. What do we think of George?
-What I noticed while watching was that throughout the trip home, George leaves Maddy alone with the family...in the beginning he's walking around outside while she meets everyone, then later they show him sleeping on the couch while she's getting her nails painted, and he doesn't even go out with her when she tries to help his brother with his report. Then, suddenly, he lectures her about how important family is when she tries to go close the art deal. He hadn't even noticed how hard she was trying, and I thought at the beginning that she was going to be totally unaccepting of their southern, middle class, unsophisticated ways.
