Laura Smiles is an alarmingly effective portrait of a womans mental breakdown We are introduced to Laura at her happiest time in a warm loving relationship with her fiancé a very appealing Kip Pardue in the city literally the love of her life In flashbacks we then see the sweet development of this relationship out of order as these moments become brightly lit and colored memories that desperately intrude on her later in life as she becomes consumed with guilt and remorse over his fate These feelings start to overwhelm her current life as a wife and mother As something inconsequential in what she calls her suburban drudgery triggers the past in the supermarket cooking cleaning at a school play she acts out increasingly aberrantly to counteract the feelings they generate especially when she can no longer distinguish past from present from dreams recalling Blanche Du Bois
