Review of August: Osage County (2013) by Jorge M — 12 Aug 2014

Some movies need an innovative script, others, a spectacle of visual effects, and still others, a whimsical production art to do its magic. "August: Osage County" needs only a Meryl Streep, imbued with a great character, surrounded by some seasoned actors, in sharp dialogues.

That will be enough for you to be mesmerized by two hours, never taking his eyes off, another sweeping performance of these cinema's goddess (yes, she deserved to have won his 4th Oscar) and win bonus, some of the most intense and memorable dramatic scenes of recent times.

If production has a cadence and end more suitable to the theatrical universe, and that some characters be wasted, become, after all, just details forward to the pleasure of watching another journey of total surrender of Mrs. Streep.
