Violet Weston: You know if I ever call my mom a liar she would knock my goddamn head off my shoulders.
Ahhhh family...
Having Meryl and Julia in same film is movie orgasm. I think it's like Steel Magnolias in terms of casting (although have not watched that film).
Based on the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play of Tracy Letts. Story of a vicious matriarch and her dysfunctional family that have shamelessly smack Pinoy telenovelas with its twists and surprises.
Top caliber performances from the ensemble especially Streep and Roberts - who were nominated for acting in the Academy Awards for this film.
The dinner scene was very intense and I loved how the conversations were delivered effortlessly.
Nothing extraordinary on the plot so I have to agree that it should not be nominated for Oscar Best Picture (was surprised though that it did not make the cut for the Adapted Screenplay) despite having the Weinstein brothers and Clooney backing up on it.
Sorry - it didn't work this time.
