Review of Smashed (2012) by Christopher H — 12 Nov 2012

A perfect vehicle to launch Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her future successes as a dramatic actress, "Smashed" proves itself a viable Indie with a close-to-the-chest demeanor and dead-on, ethereal performances, not just from Winstead, but from co-star Aaron Paul as well, who gives a glimpse of the headlining actor he will certainly become.

James Ponsoldt is unafraid to delve into the truth of addiction and all that comes with turning your life around, allowing his gorgeous lead actress to be dirtied and without make-up throughout most of the film.
