June Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss17 of 29
Miss Juneteenth | Available on VOD Friday, June 19
Plot: A former beauty queen turned hard-working single mom prepares her rebellious teenage daughter for the Miss Juneteenth pageant, hoping to keep her from repeating the same mistakes that she made in life.
Our Take: Cool to see an alt take on the beauty pageant scene that brings us into a tricky family dynamic and isn't afraid to be a straight drama instead of going for the LOLs. Channing Godfrey Peoples' feature-film debut scored big at SXSW and wowed at Sundance, too. I'd love to see Nicole Beharie cast in more films and TV shows. — Arno
