Back in 2005, “Junebug” launched more than just Amy Adams’ career, though writer Angus MacLachlan
has taken considerably longer to follow through on the charming,
human-centric sensibility auds found so appealing about his first
feature-length script. Now, nearly a decade later, the North Carolina
scribe makes the transition to directing with “Goodbye to All That,” another gently relatable, regionally inclined dramedy, this one concerning a semi-oblivious husband (Paul Schneider)
caught completely off-guard when his wife (Melanie Lynskey) files for
divorce. While too low-concept to support an easy marketing play, this
amiable indie rewards adult auds who’ve outgrown cookie-cutter romantic
comedies.
