Entertainment Reviews:
[T]he movie is red meat for anyone who thrives on a certain brand of punchy, in-your-face emotional shock value. -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly
There's no pretty bow to tie everything up in the end as characters' worries will continue to somewhat trouble viewers even after the film is finished.

Pleasant, it is not.

Cinema Siren
[A] juicy slice of Southern melodrama which sees an all-star cast tear strips off each other on the occasion of a funeral-mandated family reunion.
Total Film
Directed by John Wells and written by Tracy Letts based on his play of the same name, August: Osage County is a tour de force in acting on all counts.

Behind The Lens
Here Ms. Streep smokes, rants, bites her fingers, slurs her speech and spews obscenities with the gusto of a tornado laying waste to a small town.
New York Times
It doesn't all necessarily gel-director John Wells seems intimidated by that cast-but it's a master acting class, with Roberts' tough, brassy performance holding the whole thing together.

Product Description:
Director John Wells' adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize winning play August: Osage County tells the tale of the dysfunctional Westin clan, who all come together after the death of patriarch Beverly Weston (Sam Shepard). His wife Violet (Meryl Streep), who is fighting mouth cancer and a growing dependency on pain pills, sees her entire clan return home for the services, including her sister Mattie Fae Aiken (Margo Martindale) and her husband Charles (Chris Cooper) and their son "Little" Charles (Benedict Cumberbatch). Also arriving are Violet's three daughters: Barbara (Julia Roberts) and her husband Bill (Ewan McGregor), Ivy (Julianne Nicholson), and wild child Karen (Juliette Lewis), who brings her fiancé Steve (Dermot Mulroney). As the clan bickers and jokes, old truths come to the surface, jealousies flourish, and eventually each of the characters confronts some past hurt or future fear. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
