August: Osage County is easier to watch on screen, and maybe for that we should be grateful. But there's also something to be said for sitting shell-shocked afterward, shaken and relieved to be free from witnessing more of this family's downfall.

fresh:
August: Osage County is all about the acting. That makes sense because the storyline doesn't offer much that could be considered new or remarkable.
