I enjoyed this movie. MEW is a great actress and did a good job in this movie.
One thing that make me think though is how I laughed at the sex scene where her husband falls asleep. Since it is happening to a man, people laugh. And that is OK. The far left likes to say that men can't be victims of sexism, so maybe they can't be victims of rape in their eyes either.
If it were a woman getting slapped to stay awake during a sex scene, then the guy kept going once she was completely asleep; we would all be talking about "the disturbing rape scene in Smashed"
But, since it was a guy...it is just funny. Nobody cares. He probably liked it, right?
You can't have it one way and not the other. So, think about a gender reversal when you laugh at that scene and then ask yourself if you would be fighting just as much for a man while you're out there marching in your pink hat and chanting about the patriarchy.
