It stars Laura Dern as Connie and Treat Williams as Arnold Friend.Connie, a teenage girl living in Northern California, spends the summer before her sophomore year of high school flirting with boys and hanging out at the mall with friends instead of helping her mother repaint the family farmhouse. Connie's growing need for independence is the catalyst for the adversarial relationship between mother and daughter. One day, Connie's innocent excursions are turned upside-down when she has an encounter with a mysterious stranger.The film won the Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic Category at the 1985 Sundance Film Festival. | |

Acceptable Feminine Goals and Traits | |
| Smooth Talk (1985) / int_185be310 | comment |
Acceptable Feminine Goals and Traits: The film can be seen as a deconstruction of the cultural expectation that "girls should be raised to be nice and agreeable", which only leaves women vulnerable to harm and possible violence. Connie is left with a catch-22 situation between being seen as desirable and being in danger. | |
