A woman (Melissa Leo) befriends a new neighbor (Josh Hamilton) and hopes he can help her daughter (Marin Ireland) out of the cycle of addiction. Before long, she has to choose between protecting her daughter or finding happiness.

Geoff Berkshire

Variety

A terminally quirky indie dramedy, "Bottled Up" risks trivializing prescription drug abuse in service of a trite middle-age romance.

Philadelphia Inquirer

A small, intimate, bittersweet, and wonderfully crafted love story, it may very well add a spring to your step as you exit the theater.

Rated: 3/4

You watch "Bottled Up" feeling that the screenplay needed a few more drafts; the dialogue, in particular, doesn't always ring true.

Rated: 2/4

Worst movie I've seen all year. Hooray 2015! Everything can only get better from here. The whole mom dating the young guy was lame. And the daughter could not a grip of life. Lacked inspiration and wit. Onto the next.

Poor Melissa Leo. She should have to relinquish her Oscar for making this garbage. There's no substance or meaning to this film. It feels as if it starts 20 minutes into the film and we've missed something and it just never allows the viewer to feel emotionally invested.
