15 Films to See in August
The month ahead appears to offer far more cinematic highlights than the typical August, though you'll have to venture beyond your local cineplex to catch most of them. True, the surprisingly good horror sequel Annabelle: Creation and Steven Soderbergh's return to filmmaking with Logan Lucky will screen in wide release. But it is this month's indies that really shine, including features like the Black Mirror-esque Marjorie Prime, festival hits like Good Time, Beach Rats and Patti Cake$, and the year's highest-scoring film to date.
When the latest from director Bertrand Bonello (Saint Laurent, House of Pleasures) premiered in France and at festivals last year, many wondered if it would get a theatrical release in the U.S. The answer, finally, is yes. This controversial picture follows a group of teenagers as they set off a bomb attack in Paris and then hide from the authorities in a shopping mall. Reviewers have raved about Bonello’s filmmaking prowess but questioned whether he has something to say.
