12 Movies and TV Shows on Our August Radar3 of 12
The Glass Castle
I kept closer attention to this adaptation of Jeanette Walls' memoir when Lionsgate picked up the project from Paramount and refashioned it as a reunion between Brie Larson and her Short Term 12 director, Destin Daniel Cretton. Knowing the Cretton didn't shy away from the book's toughest material, and hearing Walls' reaction to the first time she saw her life on screen, I sense that Lionsgate, who also has The Big Sick and Wonder this year, is staging a major awards campaign for all three movies. — Arno
