Film Review: SMILE

by xoJohn
Director: Parker Finn Writer: Parker Finn Cast: Sosie Bacon, Jessie T. Usher, Kyle Gallner, Robin Weigert, Caitlin Stasey with Kal Penn, and Rob Morgan

Runtime: 1 hour, 55 mins

Rated R for strong violent content and grisly images, and language.

Dr. Rose Cotter is a workaholic devoted to her profession as a psychiatrist. Opting to work in a county clinic instead of with wealthy clientele, she’d become accustomed to a fast-paced environment where anything can happen. She thought she was prepared for anything, but nothing could prepare her for witnessing the suicide of a patient. After witnessing the horrific death of a young patient she was unable to help, the good Dr. comes face to face with the same affliction. In a race against time, Dr. Cotter must find a cure or meet certain death, with a smile.

Last week the French honored Bastille Day, an annual day of reverence for the storming of the Bastille, a major battle of the French revolution that united the people of France. To honor the day we headed to the east side to enjoy an evening of gourmet cuisine at La Brasserie. Formerly known as Brasserie Les Halles, the dimly lit space is fashioned after the old French Brasseries which were casual dining spaces serving hearty foods rather quickly.
