"...a black comedy about the cruel and fickle world of theater.... The caustic humor leaves none of the characters unscathed, but there are truisms and genuine emotion bubbling beneath it all.... a thoroughly enjoyable and bitter look behind the curtain."
"...a very tired storyline that flat-lines somewhere within the first twenty minutes of the film and is never resuscitated.... 'Around June' is James Savoca's third feature film, but this certainly doesn't feel like the work of someone with experience."
"...uncompromising and clear-eyed... traces 24 hours in the life of Anders (Anders Danielsen Lie), a deeply melancholic, recovering drug addict who's given a day pass from his in-patient treatment facility."
"...the last film in the semi-biographical Ip Man trilogy.... a barebones narrative that is periodically ruptured by showpiece Kung Fu battles.... the dramatic thrust of the narrative is so timid that it doesn't really build to the final conflict as much as limps towards it."
