Fresh
A black-and-white novelty that plays like a directing-class exercise, you take your good with your bad with this one.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
The film is a series of scenes, skits, episodes, that show two or sometimes three people smoking and sipping and conversing, usually in grungy places and usually improvising -- at least that's the intended impression.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
Rotten
A hit-or-miss movie.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
An irresistible idea results in a movie as hazy and sometimes as irritating as cigarette smoke.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
