Product Description

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY tells the dark, hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives 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. Lettsa play made its Broadway debut in December 2007 after premiering at Chicago’s legendary Steppenwolf Theatre earlier that year. It continued with a successful international run.

The script is brilliant; and Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts are always excellent, but their performances here – especially Streep's – are absolute genius. The film is complex, nuanced, and dead-on; I can't recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars August: Osage County: Who's Afraid of Violet Weston?
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
I don't think I've seen a film competing in the Oscar race this year with just as many powerhouse performances as "August: Osage County." Every actor is cast perfectly in a film where each character is well written, although the movie itself is basically an abridged version of the stage show. On stage, "August" is a night of three acts and three and a half hours. On screen, it's just about two hours long. Scenes were shortened, some were cut, but its essence remains.

Tracy Letts, writer of the stage show, wrote this film adaptation as well. It appears that he didn't mind cutting the film down considerably for the screen. The film is able to avoid becoming a "greatest hits" version of the play. Yet it can be called an abridged version of the stage show, but that's not quite right either. It's its own animal. It can't help but feel stagy but I certainly don't think that detracts from the experience.

"August: Osage County" tells the story of the Weston family. Three sisters - Barbara (Julia Roberts), Ivy (Julianne Nicholson) and Karen (Juliette Lewis) come back home after their alcoholic, yet soulful and brooding father Beverly (Sam Shepherd) goes missing. Their mother, Violet (Meryl Streep) has basically ruined each one of these girls' lives in one way or another. She has cancer of the mouth, but is constantly smoking like a chimney. Each character has their own story going on. Letts keeps just enough of each character in this condensed adaptation to make it feel like everybody is well-examined and written. I still wish it was the same three and a half hours that the play was, but I understand why that wasn't an option.

When a film contains numerous stellar performances like this, a complaint about the running time hardly means anything. Meryl Streep continues to prove that she can do no wrong. You've never seen her play a character like Violet Weston. She's a serial killer, and words are her bullets. When she goes on "truth-telling" rampages, no one is safe. She gives a performance that might remind you of Elizabeth Taylor's classic turn in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". A great woman whose moral and mental health is very much in question, who is biting, clever and ruthless. A twenty-minute long dinner table scene (which is one of the play's three acts) is absolutely terrific, because this is where everything begins to disintegrate.

Julia Roberts surprised me as well. She's done a few incredible dramatic performances, but I mainly think of her as a rom-com actress. She has a meaty, complicated role in Barbara Weston, and she nails it. Other standouts include Julianne Nicholson, who I'm shocked isn't a bigger star than she is. Margo Martindale is also fantastic as Aunt Mattie Fay. But the truth is there's not a bad performance to be found in all of "August: Osage County".

One thing you must know before seeing this film is that it's absolutely no comedy. Its trailers depict it as a lighthearted family comedy, and that's not really true at all. It's potent as both a drama and a comedy, however it's not lighthearted in the slightest. These are miserable, miserable people. It's relatable in so many ways, but you can remember, hopefully, that you and your family could be worse.

Tracy Letts clearly loves manic, cynical people. There are so many highs, lows and dramatic confessions here, that you are likely to feel emotionally exhausted when it's over.You'll also be in a considerate state of shock when it's all said and done. I sat in the theater, with a large crowd, who didn't start to tinker out of the theater until the credits were almost over. It gave me the same experience that the stage show did, and I consider that to be a high compliment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Star Acting - Great Screenplay Showing Modern American Life on the Plains
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
This moving story has a great great homespun Americana screenplay. It certainly gives those who don't know - a feeling of life on the plains. The disintegration of the family due to newer generations being forced to pursue better economic opportunities weaves through this story. Plains and Midwestern families cannot afford to stay locally with fortunes shifting further and further from the the "Fly-over states".
The desperation of the older generations left behind colors everything that happens forward...the hopelessness, the drug addiction, and the family disintegration.
The ending was a little unresolved for me, but I guess that's an accurate description of what happens in real life to Plains families like this.
Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The script is the star
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2015

Tracy Letts is one of today's finest playwrites, in a class with Alan Ball and Aaron Sorkin. The son of novelist Billie Letts, he has created several remarkable plays, two of which have been succesfully turned into films: "Bug" and this masterpiece: "August: Osage County."
This is a story about a family reunion in a way that is reminiscent of Edward Albee without copying him at all. The entire Weston family is brought together by the death of the father and for two hours we are taken on a journey of pain, love and discovery.
Meryl Streep is, as always, remarkable, but the most impressive performance comes out of Julia Roberts who is forced across a line the rest of the family has already crossed. It is her who carries this film and as each horrifying family secret is revealed it is through Roberts that we feel the effect.
This is a brilliant play and has transferred to film just as brilliantly. Letts wrote the screenplay and it's clear he intends to tell of life in the south as he jpins the ranks of Tennesee Williams, Truman Capote, Mark Twain, William Styron and William Faulkner.
This is worth owning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dysfunctional family indeed.
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
I loved this movie. It sort of reminds me of my dysfunctional family though this family has mine beat. It has several humorous moments that made me laugh out loud but there are bittersweet moments too.
Meryl Streep is just wonderful in this movie as the mother (Violet) who has a pill popping problem. Her grown daughters have come home due to a death in the family. Two have moved out of state while the middle daughter stayed rather close by. You quickly see what the relationships are between mom and her daughters, the siblings to one another, as well as other family members. The dinner table scene is one of my favorites.
I found Juliette Lewis's character to be annoying but I think she tends to play annoying, silly characters at times. And Meryl Streep's granddaughter, I wanted to slap her face.
I don't want to give away too much about this movie so I'll just say I really enjoyed it. The ending left me wondering about Violet and what happens to her. What happens to Barbara? Ivy? Where do they all go from here?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amerikanische Familie m Kriegszustand

“August: Osage County” (“Im August in Osage County”) USA 2013
Fast zwei Stunden lang Krieg, jeder gegen jeden. So etwas kann nur in einer Familie passieren, aus der das Entrinnen wegen verwandtschaftlicher Bindungen letztlich unmöglich ist – obwohl zum Schluss alle außer der krebskranken Violet das Haus verlassen. Seltsam, gedreht wurde unter anderem in der Nähe der Stadt Pawhuska, in den Zwanzigerjahren des 20. Jahrhunderts einem der Zentren von Morden weißer Bürger an der indianischen Osage-Bevölkerung. Um einen Gegensatz zwischen weißer und indigener Mentalität geht es auch in diesem Film, und die weiße Chaosfamilie schneidet dabei katastrophal ab.
Patriarch Beverly Weston (Sam Shepard) hat eine indianische Haushälterin als Hilfe für seine Frau Violet (Meryl Streep) eingestellt, die als Kettenraucherin an Mundkrebs leidet. Dass Beverly die fremde, belastungsfähige junge Frau (Misty Upham als Johnna) ins Haus geholt hat, entsprang wohl dem letzten Rest von humanem Verhalten, das in dieser Familie möglich war – Beverly wird kurz darauf ertrunken im See gefunden, ein Selbstmord wird vermutet. Und zur Beerdigung kommen alle Töchter, Ehe- und Noch-Nicht-Ehemänner von Nah und Fern zusammen, womit der Krieg eröffnet ist. Auch für die Zuschauer wird es auf die Dauer schwer erträglich, was diese Leute unterm Deckmantel, die „Wahrheit“ zu sagen, einander antun, man geht wie mit verbalen Spitzhacken aufeinander los.
Ohne die Starbesetzung mit Meryl Streep als Violet und ihrer ebenso aggressiven Tochter Barbara (Julia Roberts) hätte der Film nicht funktionieren können. Meryl Streep holt alles aus sich heraus, was an List, Heimtücke, schrillen Verbalattacken und exzentrischer Körpersprache möglich ist. Julia Roberts hält als rücksichtslose Kämpferin dagegen, eine Figur wie aus Holz geschnitzt, starr, frustriert, zu Emotionen fähig nur im Hass. Einzig die Männer wagen mitunter einen Anflug von Menschlichkeit und mahnen zu mehr Respekt als familiärer Grundhaltung. Es nützt nichts, solche Haltepunkte werden sofort überspielt und vergessen. Als einzige Gegenfigur bleibt, freilich im Hintergrund, die Haushälterin Johnna, die eine traditionelle indianische Ruhe und Humanität einbringt. Für Misty Upham war es eine unscheinbare Nebenrolle, und man hätte sich einen größeren Einfluss ihrer Figur auf die Handlung gewünscht. Aber es entspricht der Aussage dieser familienkritischen Erzählung, dass Humanität nur noch als Schatten erscheint, obwohl sie zum Schluss die Bedeutung übernimmt: Johnna bleibt als einzige mit Violet zurück, nachdem alle anderen die Flucht ergriffen haben.
Die Blackfeet-Indigene Misty Upham hat danach noch ein, zwei Filme gedreht, aber womöglich war „August: Osage County“ ihr Schicksal. Der Streifen wurde unter anderem von Harvey Weinstein produziert, und es gibt Hinweise darauf, dass sie von einem Weinstein-Mitarbeiter vergewaltigt wurde. Sie starb im Oktober 2014 unter ungeklärten Umständen, nachdem die Polizei nach ihrem plötzlichen Verschwinden eine Personensuche verweigert hatte. Mitglieder ihrer indigenen Community fanden sie nach elf Tagen am Fuß einer Klippe in einem Wald, es wurden zwar tödliche Verletzungen bestätigt, aber nicht, woher sie kamen. War sie vom Felsen gefallen? Hatte sie sich umgebracht, weil sie nach Gewalterfahrungen seit ihrer Kindheit an Depressionen litt? War sie gestoßen worden? 2021 wurde vom Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program der Misty Upham Award zur Förderung junger indigener Schauspieler gegründet. Misty Upham wird als Anregung und Ermutigung bleiben. Nicht für Weiße.

This is a great film filled with so many outstanding performances particualrly by Meryl Streep who I have to say is outstanding playing the matriarch of a rather dysfunctional family.It is raw in many places and conveys so well the often underlying tensions and unspoken reentments and anger that so many families have although this one may seem extreme but I think such patterns do exists in most families but maybe lay better hidden or unspoken.
It is a great film,touchning raw with brave perforomances.
