Leave your thoughts about Smoke Signals.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackBeautiful in both its brevity and its vision of contemporary Indian culture, the film abounds in easygoing humor. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversBeach and Adams give remarkable performances that grow in feeling and intensity. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisA brilliantly performed movie....Beach is a knockout |
| The A.V. ClubJoshua KleinWhat's truly remarkable about Smoke Signals is the depth of the narrative, a touching tale of self-discovery. |
| L.A. WeeklyF. X. FeeneyThe deeper strength of Smoke Signals rests on the sensitivity and truthfulness of Farmer’s performance as the ebullient, self-hating alcoholic father, and that of Irene Bedard as the young woman he knew in later life. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterAnd that's the surprise of the movie, beyond even the humor and humanity of its inside look at contemporary American Indian culture. It's really the oldest and most primal story forms, the one about the old man and the boy. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyIt was shocking to realize that as late as 1998, this was still one of the few movies made by insiders, written, directed, and acted by Native Americans. The father-son narrative is conventional but it has humor and is well acted. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIts particularities are the best thing about it. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe film excels in small scenes of cannily chosen Indian everydayness. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe cast is uniformly excellent in their roles, and Eyre's persistent use of long, trailing shots reinforces the story's elegiac tone. |
