3.5/5
A venturesome, beautifully realized psychological mood piece that reveals its first-time feature director's understanding of the expressive power of the camera. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 12/23/2002
The film's hackneyed message is not helped by the thin characterizations, nonexistent plot and pretentious visual style. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times 12/19/2002

Though its atmosphere is intriguing ... the drama is finally too predictable to leave much of an impression. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

08/04/2010 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.
