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.
Directed by Amanda Lipitz, this documentary tells the inspirational story of a girls’ high-school step team as they struggle to win a championship and be accepted into college. Set at an all-girls school in Baltimore, the film follows the young women of the team on and off the stage, as they are empowered by teachers, counselors, teammates and family. Step has received excellent early reviews.
