August: Osage County

If you wanna see Meryl Streep do her "thing" so brilliantly (and rightly nominated for) and an ensemble of top notch actors delightfully bouncing off one another, then August: Osage County is that film to see.  After the death of her husband, cancer stricken Violet Watson (Streep) gathers with her family during mourning and all sorts of family mess and secrets, regrets, and resentments.  But minus the performances which are heartfelt and humorous, which include that of Julia Roberts for a change, the film really goes nowhere in resolution.
