August: Osage County
(2013)
Directed by John Wells
this film based on the play of the same name stars Meryl Streep,
Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor and Chris Cooper. Family return home to
help an old woman with cancer after her husband's suicide.
The play this film is
based on won the Pulitzer Prize but I found the plot just heaped on
over used element after over used element ending up being far too
much. I do not think the story is especially believable or insightful
but it is still watchable through out. It helps there is a great cast
and Meryl Streep gives an amazing performance as always but it is not
enough to elevate the film.
3/5
