Juniper is a very sweet and poignant piece, which has some truly emotional and punchy moments.
It is entirely predictable but this doesn't detract too much from its impact.
The performances are solid, if nothing particularly impressive.
The tone and style of the piece are all quite effective. There are very few bells and whistles with this film. It has a small cast and lets the story and characters speak for themselves.
There is something lacking from it which stops it being something truly special, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I think some of the characters could have been crafted a tad better and some greater nuance injected into certain moments.
However, it is still a very enjoyable and poignant film which you shouldn't let slip under the radar. Well worth a watch for sure.
