Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, Laura Dern stars as a teenager caught between innocent youth and the dangerous lure of adulthood in Joyce Chopra’s sinister coming-of-age drama.
Director: Joyce Chopra
Overview
Adapted from a Joyce Carol Oates story, Smooth Talk centres on teenager Connie (Oscar-winner Laura Dern, in her first leading role) navigating an endless summer of beach trips, mall visits and awkward flirting with boys.
