I fear that an August release date will kill this movie...
It looks to be almost dead on arrival at the box office, and I fear that perhaps except for Streep's performance, this will be totally forgotten come Oscar time. I think this was the kind of movie that was made to go limited in December with a wide release in January, when everyone's talking about who's going to be nominated for what. And that's a shame because I loved this movie. It's gorgeous, wonderfully acted, I laughed and cried. I had a great time, and it seems like those who saw it liked it, for the most part. But I doubt anyone will remember it when it counts.
