August: Osage County

August: Osage County is a 2013 American tragicomedy film directed by John Wells. It was written by Tracy Letts and based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning eponymous 2007 play. It is produced by George Clooney, Grant Heslov, Jean Doumanian, and Steve Traxler.

August: Osage County premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2013, and was released in the United States on December 27, 2013. A modest commercial success, the film received mixed reviews from critics. While much praise was given to the cast, the screenplay was praised by some and seen by others as too dark and lacking in humor. For their performances in the film, Streep and Roberts received Oscar nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.
