August: Osage County Full Movie Part 1

August Osage County 2. This is probably one of the first times that I truly noticed what happens to a film when you have a director who truly cant keep up with his cast. August Osage County has a cast that is to die for and they dont disappoint. But when the film itself is directed in a generic, uninteresting, unfocused fashion, it sometimes leaves the actors with too much responsibility to shoulder to make the material work. August Osage County is better when it sticks to its theater roots and stages scenes statically. An electric scene at the dinner table or intimate exchanges between sisters or mothers and daughters work better than the films earlier expository scenes where the film attempts to take advantage of its cinematic scope and stage scenes in exteriors or in mobile locations. A look at the lives of the strongwilled women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Oklahoma house they grew. This gives the first half of the film a very messy feel and makes certain characters feel unrealized. This is especially true with Meryl Streeps characterization of matriarch Violet Weston. Her first scene is an actors showcase shes druggy, sickly and irrational. She chews the scenery with abandon leaving the restrained Sam Shepard and understated Misty Upham looking like lost spectators. Streep seems to be experimenting at the beginning of the film with what type of character she wants Violet to be. Is she crazy or is it really the drugs Is she truly mean spirited or just a victim of a cruel worldIts during that climactic dinner scene where Streep seems to get a firm hold on the character and for the rest of the film is magnificent and fully realized. But if theres a standout among this talented group, it is surprisingly Julia Roberts who is amazing as eldest daughter Barbara Weston. Roberts lands her zingers better than most of the other cast members and also has her best moments with her facial reactions to her familys actions. The rest of the cast is good as well, but the material doesnt give them much time to fully bring their characters full circle. Margo Martindale and Chris Cooper come closest but they are given more room to breathe, to introduce their characters and to make an impact.

This is especially apparent with Benedict Cumberbatch who arrives as a crazy mess, yet you dont know if he is mentally unstable or, as the film seems to imply later, a victim of a verbally abusive mother. Overall, August Osage County is a film is only half effective. A large, talented cast thrown together in a house, given a Pulitzer Prize winning theater script and told to ACT. They do that. But the result is a story that doesnt feel fully realized until halfway through. And that is the true definition of a wasted opportunity. Watch Playboy: The Complete Anna Nicole Smith Online Ibtimes.
