Review of Smashed (2012)

By James White (109) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 10 Dec 2012

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 21 Nov 2012

Smashed does in 82 minutes what Robert Zemeckis' Flight took more than two hours to do - and does it better, without a spectacular computer-animated…

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Rob Carnevale (227) for The List (2,018) on 19 Nov 2012

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 08 Nov 2012

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Duane Dudek (861) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 08 Nov 2012

The way that the willowy, brown-haired girl-next-door type Winstead throws herself into the role results in a sobering character study…

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 07 Nov 2012
