Reviews
- "The director’s stories know how to take extreme violence and turn it into sarcasm and comedy, often using inanimate objects to reflect humanity’s shortcomings."
- Deadline Hollywood Daily - "The director’s stories know how to take extreme violence and turn it into sarcasm and comedy, often using inanimate objects to reflect humanity’s shortcomings."
- Deadline Hollywood Daily - "Relive the golden era of Saturday morning television with Quentin Dupieux’s latest cinematic oddity of weirdly charming science-fiction."
- THN - "Quentin Dupieux has a very strange and imaginative mind and SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING is a goofy and fun extension of that mind."
- Reeling Reviews - "Everyone gets the joke, which feels impossible."
- ScullyVision - "Fun, witty, and endearing."
- Caimán Cuadernos de Cine - "Managing to balance camp and social commentary, this movie is much more than just a weird movie with buckets of blood, rubber monsters, and a talking rat."
- But Why Tho? A Geek Community - "Absolutely entertaining and ingenious, Dupieux's disparate imagination doesn't expire."
