WAITING FOR AUGUST

waiting2Dumb Jan: I thought I was watching a moving–albeit too tidy–feature about a Romanian family, but it turns out Waiting for August is a documentary! Now all my original objections are amplified.

Seven kids stuck in a small apartment with no parents? “Fly-on-the-wall” doc suffers from Hawthorne Effect with heavily edited “heart-warming” footage. Sorry, but good intentions are not enough 🙁 (JLH: 3/5)

Q: Does Waiting for August pass the Bechdel Test? DigitalStampA

Yes.

Georgiana Halmac–who is the oldest sister in a family of seven–speaks mostly to other female characters including her two younger sisters, her school friends, and an elderly neighbor. But most significantly Georgiana speaks frequently with her mother Liliana on the telephone, on Skype, and finally face-to-face (when it is August at long last and Liliana returns from Italy for some vacation time with her family).

  1. Definitely believe that which you stated.

    Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be
    aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined
    out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could
    take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

    Thanks
