Smashed

2012 · 85 min

A raw, intimate character study that makes you ache for someone fumbling toward honesty, sobering and sad but never hopeless.

Overview: Kate and Charlie like to have a good time. Their marriage thrives on a shared fondness for music, laughter… and getting smashed. When Kate’s partying spirals into hard-core asocial behavior, compromising her job as an elementary schoolteacher, something’s got to give. But change isn’t exactly a cakewalk. Sobriety means she will have to confront the lies she’s been spinning at work, her troubling relationship with her mother, and the nature of her bond with Charlie.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, dark and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Addiction, identity, love, deception
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
