English

A former beauty queen and single mom prepares her rebellious teenage daughter for the "Miss Juneteenth" pageant.

"Beharie remains a powerful performer, able to convey multitudes with subtlety, even if Miss Juneteenth never makes a move you didn't see coming a mile down that country road." - Entertainment Weekly

"Imbued with a lovely sense of place and community, this is a low-key film, leisurely perhaps to a fault and dramatically a tad too mellow, though observed with a keen eye for the small details of ordinary lives that elevates the material." The Hollywood Reporter
