Village Voice
A fascinating character study. - 63
Slant Magazine
Asthma inevitably becomes another film about a man airing out his traumas and hitting all the requisite marks on his path to healing. - 42
The Playlist
The problems run far deeper than craft — it is simply a film that has no reason to be made, a story without point or insight or drive. - 40
Los Angeles Times
The soundtrack is fantastic and Samuel eminently watchable, but "Asthma" suffers from near-lethal doses of self-satisfied hipness. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Lack of originality and self-awareness prove to be a fatal combination. There is something way too familiar about Hoffman's rites-of-passage portrait of wasted youth, with its inevitable soundtrack of fashionable angst-rock and predictably retro-cool cult-movie influences. - 30
Variety
Ritter’s performance is the liveliest thing in a callow, shallow cautionary tale, which wears its influences on its artfully frayed sleeve and no closer than that to its heart.
