What are critics saying?

The New York Times by Dave Kehr

Too predictable to leave much of an impression.

Variety by Dennis Harvey

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

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

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

TV Guide Magazine by 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.

Los Angeles Times by 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.

L.A. Weekly by 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.

Village Voice by Nick Rutigliano

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