Review of I Smile Back (2015) by Bfoore90 — 30 Sep 2016

A brutally honest take on mental illness and addiction, Sarah Silverman delivers on a knockout performance. Unfortunately, Silverman's performance couldn't save this movie from a script lacking depth. I felt it was as if the audience never gets a full look into the respective iminds the Brooks family, though we feel like we do because of some devoted performances from its leads.

We see Laney struggle with the past and the present, we see some hints of insight in an otherwise weak plotline but it stops there. If you see this movie, see it for Sarah Silverman's damn near Knockout portrayal but if you're looking for something other than that is remotely redeeming, you may want to pass on this film.
