Aldis H @plever Mar 23 Every five minutes or less, there is dialogue that no human being has ever uttered or will utter, and it falls off a cliff of who knows what before I stop watching an don't finish, but the dialogue and acting that is good, maybe a third of the time, is incredible. Acting class, but also an acting class of when to question the bulls*** words you'r tasked with saying. I rolled my eyes at least ten times before I stopped watching. Who the f*** wrote the stilted, terrible dialogue? Rhetorical. See more Julian S. @akajulianscott Aug 28 Ugly, funny, and painfully true. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY doesn’t flinch, and neither does its ensemble. See more YIYI X @yiyi11 Jul 23 This is the second time that I watched this film. The first time was more than 10 years ago; I didn't finish it because there was no translation. This time I opened it, and the violets looked with and without hair, reminding me of Julia and Sophie. I am quite astonished that there are so many familiar faces for me because I am not familiar with many American actors. Especially, the scene where the whole family has dinner after the funeral. As a third party, the talk content is true, but still harsh. I know that the elder generation pays a lot and sacrifices a lot to earn a living for the next generation. But, they should not always make such painful experiences as excuses, and repeatedly say really bad things to their closest relatives. I know such behavior is like a release for them. But I really don't like it. Maybe it is more like the drama tension in a movie, but it reminds me of a scenario in my own life where the elder and the eldest generation spoke at each other. And the scene where Violent told their daughters that she never got those fantasy boots, and did not have the opportunity to impress the crush boy, is truly sad. We all gave our earnest wishes to others. Hope that other people could help us to realize it. But for me, it seems I almost lost faith or hope to trust anyone. And I think it is good to just believe in myself. I really hope that I will never let myself down. The first time the finance talked with unmatured Jean, I knew immediately that he was not a nice person. Persuade a young girl to 'enjoy' something really bad. Ivy took many years to look after her parents, endure cancer, finally thought she found her soulmate, and made a decision to begin her new life with her beloved. And desperately discover that the beloved one was her brother and leave. After Violent took off her fake hair, she became the weak one immediately. I even felt her face more pale than ever. All her relatives left, leaving her with a look-after person. Although each character is not that 'normal', it is exactly the person we are. Each one with the unique story.

It all feels so real and it’s appreciated :) See more Read all reviews
