Just another formula movie skip it.Meryl Streep is just phoning it in for another paycheck.People like Streep should just retire and change jobs.I think her political views are hurting her acting.She should just shut up and act.
I was looking forward to watching this movie for a long time. It is finally available on Netflix. I must say, I am disappointed. I felt like i was watching nearly 2.5 hours of screaming and a Meryl Streep trying way too hard to portray a junkie. Plus, it really look like both Mrs. Streep and Roberts were battling for screen time. Benedict Cumberbach should not accept roles that require him to take on a different accent. His accent is too strong. I did love Juliette Lewis' character. She is an underrated actress in Hollywood, in my opinion. The story, however, was hard to follow. I am sure the play is better and more insightful.
I'm not going to write long stuff regarding the film. I've just 1 word for it - MASTERPIECE. As simple as that. A true masterpiece in all the aspects of the cinematography. I will also not comment the cast as it's BRILLIANT! There's no point in telling how great Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Margo Martindale, Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch and the others really are. August: Osage County's a tragicomedy that will leave nobody "untouched".It's 1 of those films that I can watch many times and never get enough of it.10/10
With such a stellar cast, I wasn't expecting to hate this as much as I did.The cast is absolutely brilliant. Meryl Streep and Margo Martindale should just be in everything!The thing I disliked the most about this movie was the amount of swearing. Don't get me wrong; I swear A LOT! But it just seemed to me that Julia Roberts character couldn't go two words with saying 'F**k". I'm all for swearing but there is a limit before it gets too much and this crossed it. It just felt like they were stuck in the moment of having 'America's Sweetheart' swearing her head off.If this were the last movie left on Earth, I still wouldn't watch this again.
