Movie Reviews

Your Movies (cleveland.com) - 10/10 by John UrbancichThink Elizabeth Taylor in full-"Virginia Woolf" mode, and then some, as Streep starts the very special revelation sequence with, "You never know when someone might need a kidney," before taking her pound of flesh from everyone.
Reel Film Reviews - 9/10 by David Nusair...an unexpectedly engrossing effort rife with appreciatively over-the-top and downright trashy elements...
FoxNews.com - 9/10 by Justin CraigTracy Letts' adaptation of his Pulitzer Prize-winning play is catnip for actors and raises dysfunction to a whole new level.
Daily Mail (UK) - 9/10 by Brian VinerThere is more than enough misery to wallow in, a few good laughs, and lots of marvellous acting to enjoy.
Assignment X - 9/10 by Abbie BernsteinWe are intrigued by these people, but it's tough to spend much time with most of them. That's partly the point, of course, but viewers should approach with caution.
ABC Radio Brisbane - 9/10 by Matthew ToomeyYou're unlikely to forget Streep's vindictive persona and sharp insults any time soon.
Seven Days - 9/10 by Rick KisonakFor the first half hour or so, Streep's bitch-on-wheels shtick is good mean fun. But the script jettisons so much of the play that the remainder feels sketchy and super-stagy - like something Eugene O'Neill might have written for the Lifetime channel.
AspectRatio.us - 9/10 by Matt KelemenWith the accolades it received, August: Osage County must work better on stage. As a production timed specifically for awards-season, it is lacking.
Metro - 9/10 by Matt PriggeWhen it's serious, it's too serious. When it's 'funny,' it's camp.
Associated Press - 9/10 by Jocelyn NoveckThis is one of the meatiest roles Roberts has had in a good long time, and she handles it with an admirable lack of vanity. Gone is that high-wattage Roberts smile. Barbara is weary, bitter, and, at times, shrewish.
