- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Romance & Cigarettes' is the real thing, a film that breaks out of Hollywood jail with audacious originality, startling sexuality, heartfelt emotions, and an anarchic liberty."
-
"A hilarious, touching, and skillful blend of subtle emotional depths and a dazzlingly playful surface."
-
"Enthusiastically smutty and lyrical, the movie attempts to capture the way we unconsciously set the emotional moments of our lives to pop music"
-
"If you're game for something different, it's worth a few giggles"
-
"The sad result is a karaoke nightmare. Loud and pointlessly crude, the film takes the disintegration of a dysfunctional working-class family and gives it the song-and-dance treatment."
-
"'Romance and Cigarettes' is lewd and it's lurid and looks to be a lost pop opera, but it has more vitality than anything else out there."
