Our take
Four adult siblings watch Christmas plans fall apart when their ailing mother worsens in Goodbye June (2025), an M-rated family drama. Most of the film lives in hospital corridors and old family fights, not shock set pieces. Strong swearing between siblings and the pain of watching a parent die push the age up. Mild kissing, social drinking, and brief drug talk appear along the way. ClearAge puts it around M for teens who can handle mature family themes and a sad ending.
Uplifting themes
Fighting gives way as the siblings keep arriving for their mum in her last weeks. Forgiveness and staying present when it is too late to fix everything sit at the heart of the film. That care is the uplift next to the sadness Messy and resentful as they are, several of the adult kids keep choosing the hospital and trying to repair old wounds. Nobody arrives as a perfect role model. The effort itself is what parents can point to
Story (may spoil tone)
Four siblings' lives change drastically when their ailing mother takes a turn for the worse over the holiday season.

Arguments between adult siblings pack plenty of strong swearing, mostly the f-word, plus the s-word and sharper insults. Language, not graphic imagery, is what earns the R. Heated talky conflict fills those scenes

A shared kiss between two characters and brief talk about getting pregnant are the only sex beats. Nothing explicit appears on screen. Next to the hospital story, that material stays mild and easy to miss

Wine, champagne, and beer show up at home and in pubs, without a heavy intoxication focus. Someone also mentions smoking pot. The substance side stays social and talk-level, never a drug-driven plot

Jump scares are absent, yet watching a parent die in hospital still hurts. After her collapse, June is hooked to machines and often in clear pain. Sensitive teens may want a pause button for the medical distress, not because of monsters

Cancer leaves June little time after she collapses, and she spends most of the film in hospital. Her adult children gather in the weeks before Christmas, and grief sits at the centre of the story. Tears and medical pain land on screen throughout
