I just gotta be honest the dead cat scene broke me for a minute. I experienced so many emotions at 1 time that I literally stared straight ahead, mouth open, trying to process all of them. Disgust at seeing a dead cat, horror at at the kid opening what he thought was his present to find a dead animal, sadness at the cat dying, pain at the woman grieving her cat, more horror at the situation in general, traumatized at the situation in general, and even more horror at mentally putting myself in her shoes, fear at *my* cat dying (irl)(one of my cats passed away a few weeks ago), as well as anxiety and nausea.

When Dylan mentioned that they should have developed her character more it got me thinking about where the best place to put scenes like that would be. Imo they should have had a patient share a traumatic backstory similar to her own that would trigger flashbacks for her so we can see the relationship between her and her mom. Or maybe just the stress from seeing the first girl would trigger flashbacks for her, and then she's just reliving her trauma which causes her to be more withdrawn. So her coworkers take notice and ask if she's ok but then she gets super defensive, which shows more of her personality. I think these two things would really develop her as a main character and would have made the ending all the more fucked up when she dies.

[@ositaiza888]

yea like she was getting defensive with ppl but not enough for her to feel like this is part of her personality. her fiance could've said that she's always closing herself off to him and that's why he called her psychiatrist to the house bc he's lost. or even have her dreams at night be the demon making her relive her traumatic childhood or smth

Hi! A professional in the mental health field here: Staff-patient confidentiality is super important, and something that is taken very seriously. HOWEVER, we are required to notify the proper people if we believe that the patient is going to be a danger to themselves or others. This is something that is regularly disclosed to someone throughout treatment. In the U.S., there is a section of HIPAA that protects your identifiable health information for up to 50 years after your death. However, this confidentiality can also be breached pre or post-mortem if it’s due to a court order and/or requested by public health authorities.

sosie bacon’s performance carries this movie. her acting in this as she’s slowly losing her mind makes me uncomfortable which is exactly how horror should make you feel but unfortunately the movie cuts itself off whenever it really gets into these moments in favor of a quick scare that sure will get you in the moment but it won’t stick with you afterwards. any movie regardless of genre should leave the theater with you.

Something I love of this movie is the use of color, specifically the use of pinks and blues. Rose is always wearing blue, progressively getting more dull as the movie goes along as she loses touch with reality, and her sister is always in pink.

[@greatestever247]

That’s a really great observation! That is interesting actually

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

Pink used to be theorized to calm aggression (being the weaker sibling of red) in color theory and for years was used in psych wards and even drunk tanks and the like before the link was disproven. It makes sense that the sister would also be pink; she tries to appear happy and bright but she seems pretty unhappy in actuality, and as a psychiatrist, it would probably be endlessly annoying to Rose (blue roses represent mystery and secrets, also pride).

[@yeehaw7896]

It’s ironic that this movie is about trauma, yet I have very fond memories of it. In my last year of high school, the student committee decided to host a movie night in the school’s auditorium. They held a vote for which movie we’d watch, and Smile got chosen. My friends and I decided to attend. In total we were 7 people in the friend group. A lot of people came, and the vibes were super cozy. Everyone was decked out in pajamas and comfy clothes, there were snacks, even blankets too. I brought my bunny plushie with me. My friends and I sat in the back of the auditorium. The experience was really fun. Since we sat in the back, we had the best view when it came to seeing people’s reactions to the movie. We laughed every time someone screamed or jolted (which happened a lot!), and I even saw a guy crawling behind a group of girls, scaring them shitless. The best part was that we genuinely found the movie terrifying. It feels so fun and validating to be scared shitless when everyone else is also scared shitless. It was hilarious to scream when everyone else screamed. My friend found the movie so scary that she started played Hay Day on her phone to distract herself. I was clinging to my guy friend like a baby koala during the end of the movie. We did find the ending of the movie disappointing, though... Personally, I thought it’d be cliché, but also fitting, if it ended with the demon disappearing because the MC defeated/overcame her trauma. After the movie ended, we went to grab our stuff in the lockers. However, since it was late at night, the hallways were dark and the doors were locked. Which wasn’t really ideal when a) we needed to get to our lockers, which were located behind the doors b) we’d just seen a terrifying horror movie. I think we were stuck in there for 30 minutes before the janitor came and unlocked the doors. The hallways were still dark though so it wasn’t very fun to grab my stuff in my locker when it was pitch black. Overall, I actually found the movie scary, and I rarely find horror movies scary. I think it’s one of the few that’s actually stuck with me. Still disappointed over that lackluster ending, though. Like, I wish the cop guy just closed his eyes or exited the building when he saw that the MC was about to sudoku herself. Overall, it was a very fun night! I graduated a few months ago and I’m going to move away for law school tomorrow. I’m gonna miss my friends.

Subtle horror is something that is sadly overlooked in favour of easier jump scares.

[@ribottostudio]

The reason why horror is my favorite genre, is because you need to put in genuine effort to writing the characters and plot of a horror film. Which of course, you need to put in effort for any movie. But with horror there's a layer to that. When a horror film uses jump scares as a crutch, you laugh off the danger. You aren't being scared by what's on screen, but the loud BANG that comes with the scare. But when horror is written well, you can explore the inner workings of the mind...and through that...a mirror can be malicious, a phone call can be petrifying, a handshake can be horrifying, a door can be devastating and dangerous, a home can be haunting, and a smile...can be sinister. And images can be ingrained in your head for days.

[@skyxii_]

wow... you explained my thoughts about the horror genre so well!

[@deadpoolynoodle3651]

This definitely isn't one of those horrors lol

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Yessssss!!!!!!!!! You get it! Horror is such a complex genre!

[@ribottostudio]

@@deadpoolynoodle3651 it has it's problems, but Smile is a good enough time for me that I can overlook those issues. The only flaw is as Dylan said, we just didn't know enough about Rose, but I think that's also on purpose. When you put walls up you essentially wear a mask. I did it all the time last year to the point I didn't know what was a real emotion from me or not. It started to scare me so I got help. Rose didn't get help for her trauma and thus it festered. I think the director purposefully left plotlines unresolved, again as a way to reflect on how these things in real life often don't get any closure. Just...oh well you experienced something traumatic that sucks okay moving on.

[@deadpoolynoodle3651]

​@@ribottostudiothere's a lack of character building as Dylan said, some bad camera work, terrible scares and use of suspense; just overall seem liked a very choppy movie. Very cheap

[@kendranicole7095]

I watched this in theaters and the way they set up the movie audio in the theaters made the movie 10x more terrifying that and when people would smile at me after the movie it was genuinely unnerving for a while

[@wiiink]

I kinda like how the movie was using the monster as an allegory for mental illness, but I feel like it didn't know what it wanted to say about it. Like it feels like it's saying that if you're traumatized you should lock those feelings away and not let anyone near you or otherwise you'll be spreading your trauma?? Like for the whole movie she's ignored and pushed away by other people and pushes other people away in turn, and is punished whenever she tries turning to others for help. If going to her old home and talking to her fake mom had given her some closure as a way of saying "theres no cure for trauma but best you can do is learn to recognize it and live with it" and then has to coexist with the monster then it would have been okay but they just decided to have her delete herself from life which isn't an okay way to handle a topic like this

[@_jazzyyy_]

[@soullesschicken4069]

the boyfriend was questioning her about setting off the alarm, not about having an alarm system activated in the first place. also the scene with the phone call isn't scary because of a potential home invasion, but due to the implication of an evil force already being inside because it's not just in the house, it's inside her head, and there's no getting away from it just like there's no running away from yourself, and that's the terrifying part. the evil force of this movie is a metaphor for mental illness and trauma, and you cant defeat those by throwing punches or running away

Movies like this and It Follows disturb me more than other types of horror films. With the movie It Follows, it was so unsettling how that thing would just follow people by walking at a normal pace and showing zero emotion or speaking as well as take the appearance of any random person (but often people closely associated with their target). That’s why I’m glad they chose to have the people smile without any CGI for this movie. The fact that it’s just them smiling in a really eerie manner makes the movie so much more unsettling compared to if they gave them an exaggerated smile using CGI the way they did for that god awful movie Dylan has reacted to before called Truth or Dare (with Lucy Hale).

[@kittysuzie]

It Follows still bothers me to this day… I would get so scared coming home in the middle of the night and picturing someone slowly following me until I got in the house. Also the scene with that super tall blonde guy freaks me out.
