      Just when you're certain that Jarmusch is treading water with his borderline-tedious cleverness, something happens: Coffee and Cigarettes turns into a movie FULL of talk -- rich, supple, hilarious, masterfully orchestrated talk.

      In Jarmusch's capable hands, the mundane has never been so delightful.

      The A.V. Club

      As the film goes along, themes and even lines of dialogue resurface, and Jarmusch's comic sensibilities grow more assured.

      L.A. Weekly

      It's worth fidgeting through the mediocre stuff to get to three good pieces. In one, Cate Blanchett turns in a tour de force as both herself and her aggressive, resentful Aussie cousin in an awkward encounter that captures the pathological relationship between ordinary people and celebrities.

      Rolling Stone

      Jarmusch makes it a feast that plays like a haunting concept album.

      New York Magazine (Vulture)

      What unites everything is Jarmusch’s playful, hang-dog absurdism.

      The New York Times

      The implication that beauty and meaning can be found in odd places at unlikely, idle moments resonates through this lovely film.

      Holding the film together are simple but strong B&W visuals of offbeat types sitting around a table smoking and drinking java while they talk.
