A woman (Cecilia Bengolea) has an ill-advised love affair with a bisexual hustler (Leonardo Brzezicki).

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

The Hollywood Reporter

The film's hackneyed message is not helped by the thin characterizations, nonexistent plot and pretentious visual style.

Though its atmosphere is intriguing ... the drama is finally too predictable to leave much of an impression.

Rated: 2/5

The characters are never more than sketches ... which leaves any true emotional connection or identification frustratingly out of reach.

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.

Great movie I saw in New York when on honeymoon. Seemed to reflect my feelings at the time. I understood completely the sacrifice the girl made!
