August: Osage County

Superb acting dominates this powerful, compelling, down-to-earth, star-studded (Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor, Dermot Mulroney, Margo Martindale, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Abigail Breslin), 2-hour film that explores the severe dysfunctional family dynamics when three sisters (Julia Roberts, Julianne Nicholson, and Juliette Lewis) rally around their drug-addicted, cancer-stricken, curmudgeonly mother (Meryl Streep) in Oklahoma to deal with her disease and the sudden death of their father (Sam Shepard).
