August: Osage County
For all you Meryl Streep fans..; Ive been " Trying" to watch this movie, since it popped up on one of my Steaming Channels, and Im having a Super Hard time making it halfway, never mind to the end..I can not be the only one; thats had to pause it 2 dozen times..The Movie Sucks you in with an Excellent Cast, and rated as a "Comedy"..But For the life of me can't figure out why. I find the Movie incredibly disturbing; and about as funny as a Documentary...The movie is literally an insult to; and highly inaccurate portrayal of Anyone that is Dependant on Medication of Any sort.. Her Acting is so over the Top, and More indicative of Alcohol Consumption than Any Drug..Not that Im defending Opioid ingestion, but more Completely inaccurate portrayals of any group. I was a Bartender 35yrs; and Ive seen people Act up thousands of times..But Never have I Seen even a " Mean Drunk" act that Badly. Someone would have knocked them out already; including a female..And Definately not an Addict.. They might slur if about to pass out on the floor, but none that Animate. They wouldnt make it off their own couch; or want to go out in Public..Unless they were booting in the Bathroom; then you would find them passed out on the Head...She is downright Hostile, and makes her Character impossible to like..Do other people find this movie as Disappointing and hard to watch as I do ?? Just curious...
