"Sexy, snotty, vulnerable and above all contentious, she's (Winslet) the catalyst in a movie that creates more man-woman electricity than any other movie this year." | ||
|
|
|
"At once hilarious and serious, cruel and tender, and bristling with vitality, Holy Smoke is the right movie for the millennium, envisioning new possibilities in the way people view and relate to one another" | ||
|
|
|
"A quirky and satisfying love story." | ||
|
|
|
"A smaller picture like this, shot out of the mainstream, has a better chance of being quirky and original. And quirky it is, even if not successful" | ||
 |
|
"Solemn, obscure and insubstantial." | ||
|
|
|
"'Holy Smoke' has a sensual allure that transcends its deep-seated ponderousness (...) And the intense scenes between Ms. Winslet and Keitel have an eroticism that will not surprise viewers of 'The Piano'" | ||
|
|
|
"There's a lot of waffly verbosity and Pam Grier is woefully underemployed, but behind the philosophical smoke burns a genuine comedic fire." | ||
|
|
|
"It lurches ineptly from lame comedy to hokey melodrama." |
