August: Osage County

[oneowlgirl]

Just watched it & I enjoyed it & thought it was really well acted but didn't really 'get' it?? Was the end really they just all went on about their lives separately? I feel like I'm missing some deeper meaning??

Anyone enlighten me?

I think it's because it's based on a play. It was very hammy in parts. I enjoyed but would not have liked to have gone to the cinema to see it. I think it has a niche audience. Thought a Julia Roberts was brilliant.

Thanks for responding. I might watch the last half hour again at some point to see if I 'get' it a bit better!

What you said re being a play makes it make a lot more sense now too!

I thought it was utter rubbish! :(

This wasn't for me. As a play it might work as a movie it just didn't for me.
