Preview: August Evening (2008)

• Poster: B-

Review:

It's a pretty, green landscape with a small, scenic connection to the film. It's strength is entirely in its color and layout balance, not for any thematic connection.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

If the entire film is like the trailer, expect a lot of long, drawn out silences and minimal dialogue. That might work well for an independent film, but not for anyone who actually wants to get rapturously involved in their movies.

Oscar Prospects:

Winning an Independent Spirit Award last year would almost make it ineligible this year, but it would be the out-of-sight/out-of-mind mentality that would doom it more than anything else.

Release Date:

• October 10, 2008
