Review of Romance & Cigarettes (2005) by Lynne N — 02 Apr 2006

Really wanted to like this movie and, despite great performances and a fantastic soundtrack, it failed to impress me. James Gandolfini's epiphany at the end of the movie felt tacked on and the tragic ending felt out of place.

There's also hardly any break from vulgarity in the film - making it hard to even make out the movie through a fog of swearing and dirty talk (and I'm not a prude).
