Easily one of the most inventive and original films of the year.

[Paul] Auster’s contemplative, dialogue-driven screenplay — along with the film’s unhurried editing and luxuriating cinematography — make Smoke a gorgeous example of the art of savoring, which is exactly what you want to do with this wonderful movie.

It's smooth where it should be ragged, soft where it should be tough. And while that makes for charm, it doesn't much make for honesty.

It’s quite possible that I’d like Smoke a little more if Harvey and Bob and their cheering section liked it a little less.

Simples e envolvente, o filme traz personagens inteligentes e articulados que merecem nossa ateno - e o elenco fantstico.
