Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times A venturesome, beautifully realized psychological mood piece that reveals its first-time feature director's understanding of the expressive power of the camera. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 30, 2003 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The film's hackneyed message is not helped by the thin characterizations, nonexistent plot and pretentious visual style. Dec 23, 2002 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times Though its atmosphere is intriguing ... the drama is finally too predictable to leave much of an impression. Rated: 2/5 Dec 19, 2002 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Sep 13, 2005 Full Review Mark Olsen L.A. Weekly The characters are never more than sketches ... which leaves any true emotional connection or identification frustratingly out of reach. Jan 30, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Even if its marketed as a 'gay-themed' movie, SMOKERS ONLY is not a gay movie. Although it does contains some gay scenes.It's a hustler meet girl love song, told in a very 'eerie' atmosphere and with some surealism. I like the work of the director, Veronica Chen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Buenos Aires el gran pulpo! amor de ratos y ratos de amor al mejor postor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Una rara pelicula argentina con una estructura extraña pero que la hacer hermosa, perderme en el gran pulpo!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie I saw in New York when on honeymoon. Seemed to reflect my feelings at the time.
