August: Osage County (2013), A Beautiful Ensemble Film. Movie Review

Some critics comment that it still feels too much like a play and not enough like cinema, because the director (John Wells) comes from TV (he did ER and The West Wing), but I think it's cinema alright, and beautiful cinema at that.

Thanks, Tolovaj, for your comment. I can't wait to see more of her movies. Sophie's Choice is at the top of my list.

Unfortunately, there's too much evidence to the contrary for me to attempt to argue that one. :(

Thanks Frank - I'm looking forward to another visit to the foreshore in February. The last one was cancelled because of the threat of high tides!
