Goodbye June arrives in select theaters December 12 and on Netflix December 24, bringing with it a sharply tender family drama led by an extraordinary cast: Kate Winslet, Toni Collette, Helen Mirren, Timothy Spall, Andrea Riseborough, and Johnny Flynn.
Set in the days before Christmas, the film follows four adult siblings whose lives are upended when their mother’s health takes a sudden turn. Their return home forces them to navigate long-simmering tensions and the looming weight of loss. But their mother, June—played with stunning vulnerability and wit by Helen Mirren—has no intention of fading quietly. She guides her final chapter with biting humor, blunt honesty, and boundless love.
For Kate Winslet, the story resonated so deeply that she chose not only to star but also to make her directorial debut. Scripted by Joe Anders, Goodbye June explores the messy, beautiful complexity of family and the universal struggle to face mortality with grace. Winslet describes it as a film about the human condition, one that invites viewers to see themselves in its raw emotional truths.
Surrounded by a cast of longtime collaborators and new creative partners, Winslet crafts an intimate, moving portrait of connection—and the power of a meaningful goodbye—just in time for the holidays.
