Meet Kate Winslet, the director. The Oscar-winning actor (The Reader, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) makes her directorial debut with Goodbye June, a new drama. 

The multihyphenate also stars in the film, which follows four adult siblings (played by Winslet, Toni Collette, Andrea Riseborough, and Johnny Flynn) as they put their differences aside to support their mother, June (Helen Mirren), as her health declines. The siblings spend fraught and difficult days at her bedside in the hospital, but they find hope and warmth in each other as they reconnect and rebuild their family.

What is Goodbye June about?

The film takes place just before Christmas, when an unexpected turn in their mother’s health thrusts four adult siblings and their exasperating father into chaos as they navigate messy family dynamics in the face of potential loss. But their quick-witted mother, June, orchestrates her decline on her own terms — with biting humor, blunt honesty, and a lot of love.
