Smoke is an interesting dive into the shadows of domestic violence and alcohol abuse, set against the backdrop of a same-sex relationship. Mollie's journey is raw, capturing the struggles that often go unnoticed. The atmosphere is tense, almost suffocating at times, as it explores the psychological toll of living with an abusive partner like Ashley. There's a gritty realism in the performances that feels genuine, making you uncomfortable yet engaged. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection, which contrasts sharply with the bursts of chaos in their lives. It’s not just about the violence; it’s also about love, dependency, and the desperate hope for normalcy, which makes it a unique watch in the landscape of dramas.
