Kyle M Familiar episodic prompt that divulges on unseen daily connectivity of threaded minimal depth with decently engaging storytelling that’s solely elevated by performative deliverance, particularly Keitel and Hurt through their reflectively adjacent monologues.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Audience Member It’s the summer of 1990 Harvey Keitel plays Auggie who runs a tobacco shop in the Big Apple and some individuals’ lives are about to change they just don’t know it William Hurt, Ashley Judd, Forest Whitaker, and Harold Perrineau are connected by a somewhat 'chain of smoking' events part 1 focuses on Paul, an author whom is still recovering from his wife's murder, he almost gets hit by a car but is saved at the last minute by a teen boy named Rashid part 2 with Rashid sheds more light on his background; his mother is deceased and he's been estranged with his father for 12 years but he manages to track him down finding him a broken soul as well as an injury he sustained long ago part 3 shows more of Auggie's life, his ex Stockard Channing as Ruby comes in showing his daughter, Felicity who's in a bit of a rough patch A great collection of talented actors intersecting in ways that are unique but challenging I actually found Rashid’s story the most fascinating because he wants to know his father even if he has to keep it to himself and it actually is very heartbreaking to watch seeing it unfold The sudden realizations are pretty tough to digest and pretty much anybody who’s been through this can attach to it If you can't share your secrets with your friends then what kind of friend are you?, life just wouldn't be worth living, if you're gonna die what's more important: a good book or a good smoke?, to make a good story you have to know how to push all the right buttons, you can't really weigh how much you smoke it's like trying to weigh your soul Evocative, smoothly paced, well-written, drama filled, and keeps you interested to see where these characters go from their unplanned encounters There’s many people out there who smoke cigarettes and cigars as their way of dealing with certain situations they need to work on or to make life easier A film like this says whatever goes on with us something is bound to go up in smoke either as a sign or a reminder what we can still fix Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Matt S It's a wonderful film. Subtle, rich character development, brilliant acting. Minor Spoiler alert-There's a scene where Harvey Keitel shows William Hurt a scrapbook of pictures he's taken over the years. Every day, same location. William Hurt flips through the book, impressed by his diligence, but says "I don't get it".Keitel guides him to a picture where he, by chance, captured s photo of Hurt's late wife, sho happened to be walking in the spot Keitel always photographs. Hurt looks at it, and says- "Look at my sweet darling", and starts crying. Keitel hugs him. I'm tearing up as I write about it. It's beautiful. It's that kind of film.
