April, May and June is a character-driven film that breaks down traditional family structures. By focusing on three half-sisters navigating their mother's impending death, the film explores fragmented identities and non-traditional kinship. The narrative excels in portraying women's ability to drive the story and integrating neurodivergence. The inclusion of Jan, an autistic brother, ensures that disability is a central theme rather than a side note. However, the film lacks specific information about racial and ethnic diversity, leaving questions about LGBTQ+ identities and ability to act unaddressed.
