	Author	Review
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Like the aroma of strong, black coffee mingling with the smoke from burning tobacco, the sublime and the ridiculous are virtually inseparable in Jim Jarmusch's 'Coffee and Cigarettes.'"	POS

United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A feast that plays like a haunting concept album (...) Best of all is a chat between Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"This movie (...) has the serendipitous coherence of an old LP. Some of the tracks are stronger than others, but the magic lies in the echoes and unexpected harmonies"	POS
