Critic Reviews

Beautiful in both its brevity and its vision of contemporary Indian culture, the film abounds in easygoing humor.Full Review

Peter Stack
San Francisco Chronicle

Beach and Adams give remarkable performances that grow in feeling and intensity.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

The 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.Full Review

L.A. Weekly

What's truly remarkable about Smoke Signals is the depth of the narrative, a touching tale of self-discovery.Full Review

Joshua Klein
The Onion (A.V. Club)

And 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.Full Review
