Kate Winslet initially thought directing her new film, Goodbye June, was too much, on top of starring in and producing it. The movie, written by her son Joe Anders, focuses on four adult siblings dealing with their mother's declining health. Winslet plays one of the daughters, Julia, with Helen Mirren as the matriarch, June.
She tried to recast her own acting role but said Netflix refused, and she ultimately wanted to work with the talented cast she had assembled, which includes Toni Collette and Johnny Flynn. Winslet explained that creating a believable family dynamic required the actors to bond beyond just showing up for work. The film is scheduled for a Netflix release.
