The film also stars Emmanuelle Chriqui as Morela and Andre Royo as Dylan.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August."
-
"Chick's underwhelming exploration of post-millennial angst is as empty and vacant as its protagonist's inexpressive peepers."
-
"Stylish, well acted drama."
-
"Another among this year's crop of features that demonstrates that having a cast with indie cred can sometimes do little to buoy a film's miscalculated execution."
-
"This middling drama has no glaring faults, but simply lacks the intended urgency."
-
"There's not much to it, but Austin Chick's hyper-focused indie does serve as a nicely assured showcase for lead Josh Hartnett."
-
"'August' seems to be missing something essential--a prologue? Or maybe it's not what's missing that's the problem, but what's here."
