ScreenCrave - Another solid film coming out of Sundance, Smashed is one of those films that may seem like “just another Sundance film” but has enough twists and interesting dynamics that is seperates it from the pack. And though Mary Elizabateh Winstead steals the movie with one of her best performances to date, the film’s strong supporting cast and a number of surprising and fun moments are really what makes it a success.
CinemaBlend says:
Tate Taylor's The Help was filled with spectacular performances, but Octavia Spencer was simply perfect as the vengeful Minny Jackson. The actress is already being suggested for a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the next Academy Awards and she's even picked up a new role since, now set to star in James Ponsoldt's new film Smashed. With the amount of buzz she's getting, however, it would be foolish if she didn't add as many upcoming projects as she could to her schedule, and now she's added yet another new movie.
