In this modern-day drama, Oscar-winner Melissa Leo beautifully conveys the heart-wrenching struggle that comes with love and addiction, while also lightheartedly depicting a woman rediscovering romance. She plays hopelessly hopeful Faye, mother to Sylvie (Marin Ireland) who, many months after a car accident, continues to complain of back pain. After she refuses physical therapy, it becomes clear to everyone except Faye that her daughter is addicted to painkillers. When earnest environmentalist Beckett (Josh Hamilton) moves to town, Faye quickly befriends him, hoping that he will be the solution to Sylvie's problems. As Beckett finds himself further intertwined in their lives, he inadvertently helps Faye realize the depth of her family's problem, even as he brings a touch of happiness. Before too long Faye's hand is forced, and she must decide whether to protect her daughter or find the happiness that she has long denied herself.

| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldYou watch "Bottled Up" feeling that the screenplay needed a few more drafts; the dialogue, in particular, doesn't always ring true. |
| User Reviewbill sA nice little Indie surprise.....well acted,tender and intimate this is a quite look at two women stretched to their limits. |
| User ReviewCindi NNot bad, except for Melissa Leo's complete wall of hair over her eyes |
| User ReviewJeannette BWorst 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. |
| User ReviewAdam MPoor 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. |
