The focus title this week is Goodbye June, a grounded, character-led drama fronted by Kate Winslet and set in the days before Christmas.

Goodbye June

Just before Christmas, an unexpected shift in their mother’s health drags four grown siblings and their weary father into a whirlwind of unresolved issues, old affection and impending loss. June refuses to just fade away; instead, she meets her fate with razor-sharp humour, honesty and warmth, turning grief into something strangely hopeful. With Kate Winslet directing and starring, alongside Helen Mirren, Timothy Spall and Johnny Flynn, Goodbye June lands exclusively on Netflix UAE on 24 December 2025 and is an ideal “everyone’s finally at home” watch.

Should You Watch It?

Watch it if you are in the mood for a cathartic, performance-driven drama you can watch with older family members over the holidays. Skip it if you want lightweight festive rom-coms or kid-friendly animation instead.
