Review of August (1996) by Kelly B — 15 Dec 2010

The deeper meaning that Hartnett's character experienced is lost on an isolated story that never chooses to expand its significance to the world around it. Stylistically, Director Austin Chick felt the need to constantly remind the viewer of the time period the film was set in (through interspersed nightly news shots of "current" events) because its authenticity was constantly at odds with the costumes that were markedly late 2000s as opposed to 2001.
