Independent film Smashed which premiered last year and It's about a married couple whose bond is built on a mutual love of alcohol gets their relationship put to the test when the wife decides to get sober. Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and directed and co-written by James Ponsoldt who this year brought to Sundance another film called The Spectacular Now with its central theme also alcohol and rehabilitation.
I could have sworn I had already added Smashed. I had certainly considered it at some point. Added now, anyways.
There's a little known Midlands film called One For The Road from about 10 yrs back with Hywel Bennett. I remember it being really bleak and blackly comic. Doesn't seem to be listed on here though
Tell a lie, its here letterboxd.com/film/one-for-the-road/
Hywel Bennett! I may have to check that out, actually.
Hywel was the only reason I checked it out a couple of years back

Wake in Fright is already on there. Someone must have requested it as I ain't never even seen it.
Doh. I should have gone to Specsavers.
