- Critics' reviews
-
-
"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"
-
"It lurches ineptly from lame comedy to hokey melodrama."
