August: Osage County

NO HAPPY ENDING? THE ENTIRE FILM WAS SAD MAD SAD I HATED IT BUT IT WAS SO GOODLY FILMED AND STORY TOLD

i watched this movie first when i was 14. now that i rewatched, it was even harder to sit through. i relate to every single part of it. the familial relationship is exactly the same as mine, which makes it hard to watch but also my favorite movie. i wish i had more characters.

August: Osage County (7.1/10) is a ferocious and brilliantly acted showcase of familial dysfunction, featuring a masterclass performance from Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. The film is a cinematic pressure cooker that boils over with searing resentments and devastating secrets.

The story is an unflinching deep-dive into generational trauma, addiction, and a deeply broken family, with razor-sharp dialogue and black humor. The ensemble cast delivers flawless performances, particularly in the iconic dinner table scene.

While the film's theatrical roots and relentless bleakness can make it a challenging watch, it's a triumph for its cast and a must-see for fans of character-driven drama.

What a rush, gossiping hard with this. I’m a sucker for this family dramas. And what encounter between Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. All the cast is great.

Never seen anything quite like this before. Powerhouse acting. So believable & hits a nerve with almost everyone who watches it. Real as real gets. Being from the south, the humor is impeccably hilarious for me.
