Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

A venturesome, beautifully realized psychological mood piece that reveals its first-time feature director's understanding of the expressive power of the camera. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The film is a gorgeous nocturne of surprisingly little substance, a sleek advert for youthful anomie that never quite equals the sum of its pretensions. Read full review

Mark Olsen

There is a great divide between a film about people in the throes of aimless, meandering lives and a film that is simply aimless and meandering. Smokers Only never acknowledges, let alone bridges, that gap. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Too predictable to leave much of an impression. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

A walk on the "dark side" that moves far more slowly than limited character insight requires. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

A jumbled composite of blurred images, poetic yearnings and metaphoric dialogue. Read full review

Nick Rutigliano

Detached performances and a murky sound mix further the sense of suspended animation. Read full review
