Watch: Meryl Streep in Four Clips from 'August: Osage County'

A bunch of clips from the soon to be released August: Osage County have been released. They're gathered here for your convenience. Watch Meryl Streep chew the scenery in what I think ranks as one of her best performances. (Review from TIFF.) Meryl is a powerhouse as the acid-tongued Violet Weston in this adaptation of the play by Tracey Letts, but she's surrounded by a cast of worthy co-stars, many of whom are highlighted in each of the clips. When can we get the "Eat the fish, bitch!" scene?


"Nobody's s'ppsed to smoke!"


Meryl eats her young. 
(The dinner scene is the centrepiece of the film.)


And that Julia Roberts is pretty darn good too!


August: Osage County opens December 25th.
