August: Osage County
If your elderly parent is turning into a pill-popper replace their daily dosage with Skittles.
Unfortunately, the addict in this dark-comedy is cognizant.
When their father (Sam Shepard) goes missing, the daughters (Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, Julianne Nicholson) of the cancerous Violet (Meryl Streep) return home with their significant others (Ewan McGregor, Abigail Breslin, Dermot Mulroney) for support.
Eventually, their father's body is found and family secrets - a love child between him and Violet's sister (Margo Martindale) and an incestuous affair between the youngest daughter and a cousin (Benedict Cumberbatch) - are exposed.
But instead of concealing these nuggets like her broken marriage, Violet's eldest daughter confronts her mother, physically.
Boasting an epic ensemble, this adaptation of the play is certainly well performed. However, the characters being portrayed are extremely difficult to like.
Besides, when you're elderly parent starts becoming a nuisance it's time to introduce them to base-jumping.
