August Osage County movie review - Rich brew of drama

Film: "August Osage County" Cast: Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Sam Shepard, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Abigail Breslin, Margo Martindale, Chris Cooper, Dermot Mulroney and Julianne Nicholson; Director: John Wells; Rating: ***1/2Shame



The terse dialogues that discuss traits and genes are packed with a no-holds barred vocabulary which flows freely owing to the character's frustrations and good intentions. They evoke disgust, aversion, sadness and pity.

The camera elegantly captures every nuance of the mood swings and with a very decent production quality, director John Wells has managed to pull this play through giving it a life.

Overall, the film is a satisfying rich brew of drama.
