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.
Sunao Katabuchi’s award-winning animated film finally comes to select U.S. theaters this month. Adapted from the manga by Fumiyo Kono and set in Hiroshima during World War II, the film follows 18-year-old Suzu Urano as she moves to the port city of Kure 15 miles from Hiroshima to live with her husband’s family. The film is an intimate look at the daily impact of the war and the emotional toll it takes on a young girl growing up in a chaotic time.
