United Kingdom, Dec. 19 -- Kate Winslet thinks Brits often struggle "talking about grief".

The 50-year-old actress has made her directorial debut with Goodbye June, which follows a family coming together as their mother passes away, and Kate hopes the new movie can help to change some attitudes in the UK.

The British actress - whose son Joe wrote the script for the film -explained: "In this country, we're not necessarily so good at processing, especially when it comes to talking about grief.

"And so hopefully through this film, which is also very funny, hopefully through this film, people might see something of themselves and connect with it in that way."

The new film stars the likes of Dame Helen Mirren, Timothy Spall, Andrea Risebor...
