Miss Juneteenth - Avis

Nicole Beharie is in almost every scene and she carries the film with ease.

...a beautifully observed and quietly powerful drama that applies its coming-of-age tropes to children, parents and politics alike.

Inspiring tale of a beauty-pageant mother's dreams.

It's hard to watch her struggle -- and even harder to see how her own poverty conspires against her...

Real portrayal of love and struggles.

...remarkable, warm, and sometimes delicately sad...

The film conveys the tough realities facing a small-town Black community, but it is also just as keen to showcase the joy and cultural pride that remains undiminished in these locales.
