I am frustrated.

August: Osage County is being labeled as a comedy but of a comedy doesn't has much. Is actually a very intense, depressing and sad film. For a story with such emotional charge as this one, it needed to have some kind of change, something that holds us to want to know more. Instead of that it's always constant and actually boring at some points.

There's no resolution for the story what left me very angry! After the film passed the one hour mark I was starting to get bored and I just wanted it to end quickly because I wanted to see where the characters would end up but the fact is, you will never know that. The point where the story leaves you is important and in my humble opinion the film don't give us what we deserved to know. It ends leaving a big hole.

The performances are the best of this film. I already knew that this fantastic cast would give me amazing performances and two of them need to have a special mention. Julia Roberts that has one of her strongest performances in a long time and Meryl Streep is Meryl Streep. She always shines, we already know how great she is.
I would also like to mention one particular scene, that was actually the only one that made me laugh, the "eat the fish" scene. It was absolutely crazy and amazing!

August: Osage County is about one of the greatest dysfunctional families ever seen on a film but the poor depth of the story and the lack of some important aspects turn it into an average film. I expected so much more but it was another disappointment of 2013.
