COMICON - Koom Kankesan
May 19, 2021August: Osage County (2013), adapted by Tracy Letts from his Pulitzer Prize-winning 2007 play, and directed by John Wells, tells the story of a family that comes together after the matriarch's husband has died. The matriarch, mean and pill addled, insists on berating each of the attendees, opening up various insights and conflicts that keep the audience on its toes. It features revelations, strife, discord, and admissions, focused around two very charged performances by Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. A solid adaptation of the source material, it's the kind of family drama we don't see much of anymore in American cinema.9 out of 10 Read Full Review
