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.
Isaac Lachmann (Brett Gelman) is 40. His girlfriend (Judy Greer) is leaving him, and his career is going nowhere. But his mid-life crisis produces plenty of cringe-worthy comedy in Janicza Bravo’s feature directing debut (co-written with Gelman, her husband and star). Bravo has assembled a wealth of comedic talent (Michael Cera, Nia Long, Fred Melamed, Jeff Garlin, Gillian Jacobs, Martin Starr, and Megan Mullally) to express her unique comedic sensibility, and early reviews are mostly positive.
