Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie is strangely calming yet intriguing. First watch and I already feel up for a second watch. It just... well.. nice. The concept of coffee and cigarettes just fits so nicely together you just wish you were there with them. The strong irony is palpable and catches your attention in such a way that's extremely interesting. I just love how this movie is so different than others from the way it's structured to the dialogue.

Wow... I have seen a lot of bad movies before, but this is by far the worst one I have ever seen. I don't know how it has any stars at all on IMDb. Nothing to it at all, in many ways. Don't bother watching this movie unless you are trying to force yourself to sit through the most boring hour and a half of your life. The whole thing is black and white even though it was made in 2003. There is absolutely no plot. The whole movie is made up of skits that seem like they were made up on the spot and purposely have nothing to them. The only theme to this movie is literally coffee and cigarettes, that is the only thing that you see throughout the film. I am curious as to what this movie's fans actually see in it. 1/10

I can't remember why I bought Coffee and Cigarettes; I think it was when I had an obsession with the Cigarette-Smoking Man from The X-Files. Anyway, I watched it with my sister, who immediately got bored of it because it was filmed in black and white (she's a texting nut and cellphone zombie). I loved this movie though, it introduces you to an average variety of people from different walks of life, different genders, classes, races, but they each share one thing in common: they all visit a small city coffee shop, dingy and unpopular, and most of the characters have an addiction to either coffee, cigarettes or both.As the movie goes on, the characters complain about the small problems in their lives, indulging in their addictions and sort of looking down on one another unkindly, though other characters hit it off with each other. Still, despite these characters having next to nothing in common, many of their complaints and problems in life are similar, and they aren't alone in these issues. This movie doesn't really have much of a beginning, middle or end, it's more like an artistic view of how much we take the little things in life for granted, little things like friendly service in a diner, a nice compliment, the smell of freshly-brewed coffee and lit cigarettes, so many small things we often forget and overlook.Though I'm not entirely certain, I think it may take place in the late Fifties to early Sixties, the music style, scenery and fashion shown in the movie would point in that direction. The acting was outstanding and the soundtrack was nostalgic; the black and white film choice really puts more focus on the characters than the scenery so to fully enjoy this movie, you have to focus more on the script and what is being said, as well as the facial expressions and actions of the characters, to put the movie all together. I really loved this movie and I think it definitely deserves 10/10 stars, it's nice to avoid the melodrama of romance movies, cheap jump scares of horror movies and bad effects of sci-fi movies and just watch something simple yet so complex sometimes. In the end, it leaves a lingering depression and a new view on life that maybe in the fast-paced world of the city we often forget how much life is a gift and human kindness is worth a lot more than you'd think.
