In what will surely rank in the annals of casting against type, comedienne Sarah Silverman holds nothing back in her portrayal of Laney, a woman who risks her apparently perfect life as a middle class wife and mother as she embarks on progressively more dangerous and self destructive forays into infidelity and self-abuse. I Smile Back, which debuted at Sundance last January, is a study in addictive behavior and ultimately the self destructive compulsion that can result from emotional imbalance.
