Sundance 2012: 'Smashed' review


Smashed is hardly a momentous or revelatory movie, but I wish more American indies were like it. Small-scaled but emotionally honest, it tells the story of a young married couple in Los Angeles (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Aaron Paul) who clearly have a drinking problem. But because they're happy and in love, it's all good, right? Maybe, maybe not. I reviewed Smashed for Screen International.
