I Smile Back (2015)
7/10
A Beautiful Tragedy
10 November 2015
This is going to be a short review because I'm going to name a few titles that can compare to this film. Valley of The Dolls, Happiness, Leaving Las Vegas, and Requiem For A Dream. Here we see Sarah Silverman play a role that she's most likely done, experienced, or known a few people who ARE her character. She's the modern day soccer-mom-drug-addict, but I'd bet a lot of people be they men or women can relate to her.

It's not as much of an extreme-shock-value as Requiem or Happiness, but adds in some awesome sarcasm to make a plight of many adults nowadays. You might find yourself sympathizing with someone you hate, wanting to harm someone you love; even if you don't pop pills, snort drugs, forget your kid's lunches or cheat on your spouses. It's worth a watch, just not if you're in for a laugh... Unless you can conquer the darkness within yourself before you giggle.
