I'm from an older generation and from another nation, where the freedom to be true to oneself is not entirely guaranteed or protected. Trixie and Katya go that huge and vital step forward, beyond Ru Paul's successful commercialization of drag, to making every aspect of being the opposite of "normal" valid and real. It's impossible not to love them.
I've always loved Sarah Silverman's gutsy and honest presentation of herself. If she was to bump into me in the street and demand that I listen to whatever she wanted to say, I would willingly be stuck there, until whenever she was done, solely because of her wit and honesty.
I Smile Back is a whole new venture, in that the character she plays, while having the strength of defensive belligerence, is actually completely at a loss about how to play a proper part in the world that she thought she always wanted, mostly due to the fact that there is another world that she secretly left behind.
There is no bravado lone comic at play here--just a brave actress delivering a difficult and unattractive character, who remains nonetheless sympathetic--whether or not the audience is aware of Sarah Silverman.
