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.
The directorial debut of Hell or High Water and Sicario screenwriter Taylor Sheridan is set on an Indian reservation, where a U.S. Fish & Wildlife agent (Jeremy Renner) and a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) team up to solve the murder of a teenage girl. Featuring a supporting cast that includes Graham Greene and Gil Birmingham, the film has mostly good reviews from Sundance and Cannes (where Sheridan won the Best Director prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival).
