This should’ve been a stand-alone biopic of sorts about a successful pop singer; Skye Riley may as well be Lady Gaga; dealing with drug-induced psychosis. That would at least explain, if not excuse, all her scary hallucinations, which aren’t scary when they’re basically presented as such. Smile 2 is a lot more fun than the abysmal original. It’s the horror theme; the “supernatural bullshit”; that nearly ruins the show.

Lucinda Williams may, at almost 70 years old, technically be a deplorable singer; she sounds like a homeless drunkard; but that’s just what a song like this needs. It’s the main theme from Lost Girls; a Netflix movie about the disappearance of Shannan Gilbert. Williams takes on the role of Amy Ryan as Mari Gilbert; Shannon’s mother.
“I’ll look for you on every corner and every street I look down,” she laments, “I will never give up hoping that one day you will be found.” It’s a sad and solemn affair, but, despite her weary disposition and singing voice, the main vocal melody stands strong. The song is especially poignant considering it’s based on a true (crime) story.
