Review of August: Osage County (2013) by Thomas P — 07 Apr 2017
All yelling and tears with no resolve.
Its bs - painted all southern and 'perty like', but no charm in the least.
Great cinematography, but its stained glass windows in a bowling alley. Wasted here.
There are several much better movies from any of the big names listed here, but if you take the risk to view this, be warned - instead of phoning it in, they went all Mommy Dearest and it plain sucks. You truly won't believe all the quality names attached to this garbage.
Consistent acting with a loud, terrible script.
No balance in these bitter, weird characters -.
Humorless throughout and seems staged, especially the big showdown dinner is pointlessly over the top.
There was room to layer the characters and give them a human likeability, but this was an angry political debate - both sides hate the worst in the other side and smugly hold their ground - redundant and exasperating, as it is here.
Do not waste your time on this belligerent, awful movie.
Manipulative and coarse, all yelling and boo hooing - it will make you roll your eyes at a point.
Too much.
If you want to get screamed at for free, my I suggest that you go express your political views with people you don't care about and save your time and money that would be wasted on this piece of pretty trash.
I did not say good or appropriate acting - just consistent, to be clear.
1 smashed plate out of 5.
