I Smile Back
Laney is an attractive, intelligent suburban wife and devoted mother of two adorable children. She has the perfect husband who plays basketball with the kids in the driveway, a pristine house, and a shiny SUV for carting the children to their next activity. However, just beneath the façade lie depression and disillusionment that send her careening into a secret world of reckless compulsion. Only very real danger will force her to face the painful root of her destructiveness and its crumbling effect on those she loves.

Very best movie i ever watch
Simply Perfect
Nice effects though.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The underbelly of the suburban lifestyle is a common theme in cinema. The genre is called suburban Gothic. "American Beauty" is probably the most famous example; others include "The Ice Storm" and "The Oranges" are others. "I Smile Back" takes a different approach to the subject. In a markedly different role from her usual acts, Sarah Silverman plays an upper-middle-class wife whose seemingly perfect existence hides her struggles with mental illness and drug usage.Silverman's unglamorous performance creates a true-to-life despondent character. With this role she shows herself to be a versatile actress. And let me tell you, it's a gritty role. Her character is one of the most self-destructive ever put on screen. Good support comes from the other cast members, but this is definitely Silverman's movie. When I first learned of her from her comedy acts, I never would've imagined her playing a serious role, but she does a great job at it. I highly recommend the movie.
There is not much to smile back on the depressive drama "I Smile Back", but it did deserve some sort of silver medal due to Sarah Silverman's stunning performance as the melancholic drug-addicted housewife Laney Brooks. She has the suburbia utopia; a supporting husband, two wonderful kids, but yet she is overcome with grief, anxiety, and obsession. Director Adam Sailky did an average job in helming the picture, he did miss on the gravitas of the picture, which had little to none. Paige Dylan's screenplay also needed more pages of intrigue qualities. Josh Charles was stellar as the hubby Bruce. But it was Silverman who was golden as the detached Laney. "I Smile Back" is one that wont get too many smiley emojis, but still worth an ahoooooy Silverman shout-out. *** Average
The film is about a small family of two little kids and their parents, but all the focus was on the mother who is a drug addict and struggling with mental illness, yet care a lot for her children. But how long this happy family stays that way is the film going to reveal in its entire narration.Based on the book of the same name, half a million budget film, has a decent cast who have given their best for it. This is not a film you watch to enjoy, but a film about the families around us. This is a depiction of the real world story, like not all the families are happier as we see them from the outside. There are some secrets in them, which sets a bad example for their own children once they come to know the true nature of their parents. But some would decide to fight hard to make everything come back to the normal and some won't. That is where film derives, how it all ends makes this film unique from the other similar ones.I think this film was decent with an important topic. Not everyone would end up happy with their watch, because the story won't end up as they thought. The novel was written by a woman, so this is a woman's perspective tale and quite neatly told story. Not a bad direction or the screenplay, surprising the production quality was too good. Seems it is a quite family type film for involving kids, certainly the theme was very strong, so definitely for adults only. It is neither worth nor a waste of time, only if you come across to it and has no other choice, you can give it try.6.5/10
I am a 28 year old male, and this movie touched on a lot of issues I have struggled with in depression, mostly drugs and continuing to be destructive regardless of how much pain it causes. I teared up many times in the movie, Sarah was excellent. If you are looking for a happy movie, this is not it, and if you didn't care about the characters in the movie you obviously have little to no sympathy for people struggling with clinical depression. This was a very realistic observation of how one finds it extremely hard to see through life's struggles, and how some people are just never see the light at the end of the tunnel.
