Leave your thoughts about Our Beloved Month of August.
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanTransparently a movie about a group of filmmakers who attempt to possess a particular location, Our Beloved Month relaxes into a meditation on the mysteries of place, personality, and process. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawOur Beloved Month Of August is a real one-off: eccentric and singular and cerebral: an arthouse event, yes, but also witty and emotionally engaged. I found myself thinking about it for days afterwards - and smiling a very great deal. Try it. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's unwieldy and often frustrating, but ultimately quite rewarding. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJohn P. McCarthyElliptical and episodic, the hybrid blends music, documentary and narrative elements into an intriguing but frustratingly vague whole. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerDoesn't so much blend disparate genres as collapse them into a uniquely evocative collage. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderA mesmerizing intermingling of life and art, fact and fiction. |
| New York TimesMike HaleThe whole turns out to be less than the sum of its elegantly constructed and cleverly uncategorizable parts. |
| User ReviewCarlos MEven if it's quite frustrating to watch for the first hour, something as interesting as this one does not come along very often. Our Beloved Month of August challenges the idea of fiction, more so than anything done recently (okay, maybe it loses out to Certified Copy, but that is that) |
| User ReviewTrent TGuión interesante, buenas actuaciones, la música un poco excesiva. |
| User ReviewSofia PHaving a Portuguese family and being strictely related to the Portuguese culture drove my attention to the documentary in the beginning. But despite the beautiful landscapes and the interesting parallel stories, the movie directors made a mistake: they craved so much for a non-pretentious piece of art that it did become pretentious. Basically, the movie's idea is fantastic, but unfortunately did not receive an equally good development. |
