1.5/4
"Bargain-basement Dennis Potter"
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
2/5
"by and large a complete wreck."
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
58/100
"The film has an overall tonal inconsistency and suffers from the occasional bout of tin-ear-itis, which ultimately derails this sometimes interesting attempt at reinvigorating the genre."
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
4/5
"When it succeeds, it soars with great abandon, and when it fails, it fails so grandly that we still want to applaud it. This is a madhouse of a movie."

"I found myself smiling with bafflement for most of the film, mostly enjoying the unorthodoxy of the whole thing."

B
"May be a sort of mess, but it's a joyously infectious one."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/4
"
Romance and Cigarettes
is good, not-so-clean fun."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/5
"
Romance and Cigarettes
may not always work as well as it probably should, but regardless there's no arguing with the originality of Turturro's piece."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
"In a season seasoned with off-beat originality in the movies, from Lars and the Real Girl to I'm Not There, you still have not seen anything quite like John Turturro's extraordinary Romance and Cigarettes."
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
1.5/4
"Turturro's reach considerably exceeds his grasp."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
5/5
"A cheerfully bizarre delight for anyone open to its decidedly off-beat charms."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
3.5/5
"Such an outrageous film that it's almost impossible not to adore it."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
9/10
"One of the most inventive, surprising and challenging American films of 2005. Pity that it's 2007."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
