It’s a smorgasbord of talented actors in an adaptation of the Broadway play.

August: Osage County

Plot Summary: From IMDb: “A look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.”
Release Date: November 8, 2013

Trailer
Rating: D
Commentary: We get it. We’re dumping all of these great and/or well known actors into this house together. That doesn’t make it an effective sales tool. 		Rating: B-
Commentary: The play was well received on Broadway. The producers have aligned a compelling list of stars. Word out of screenings is strong. However, none of this really materializes in the trailer to make it look like an exciting film. I’m sure it will be better than it looks, but producers may want to revise this one before it opens.

Oscar Chances: This is already one of the key Oscar players this year and it will compete in many top categories, including all but Best Actor and multiple nominations are entirely possible.
