Smashed

Mary Elizabeth Winstead   w/d  James Ponsoldt

Very nice indie effort. Kitchen sink drama done with intelligence and a good sense of the ways of human interaction. A 30ish couple both drink a lot. Every day. Some bad things happen and she decides to quit. He doesn't.

The story plays out with the unpredictability of real life. Great script, she shone. I didn't even mind the wandering camera - that was done with taste and restraint.

This is the kind of film I hope for when I sit down to watch.
