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 latest from Heaven Knows What directors Josh and Benny Safdie follows a small-time hood played by Robert Pattinson through a desperate night as he tries to save his learning-disabled brother after a botched bank robbery. The film didn’t win any major awards when it premiered in Cannes (Daniel Lopatin’s score won the independent Soundtrack Award), but the reviews were excellent, especially for Pattinson’s performance.
