Review of Juniper

Juniper (IV) (2021)
8/10
Charlotte steals this little gem of a film
11 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Another hidden little gem. I spotted her name on some article and found it.

The story is fairly predictable, old grandmother, alienated suicidal grandson, absentee father.

But Charlotte is a force to be reckoned with. Alcoholic, enraged, violent and rude.

There is no quick resolution to all the tension she creates around her. And some scenes are downright funny. Especially when she assaults a clergyman who is trying to prepare her to meet her maker.

The slow meeting of the minds of herself and her grandson has no 2X4s. Very subtle and moving.

8/10- from me. Well worth the watch. Supporting cast was flawless.
