Smithereens Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A spirited mix of indie grit and DIY aesthetics.
FF2 Media
Amelie Lasker
A punk classic, with a soundtrack that includes the Feelies and Richard Hell & the Voidoids. If anything, Wren's failures make it even more punk: she's following a city, a scene, and a dream -- no matter how desperate she becomes.
The Lonely Film Critic
Tomas Trussow
Despite being a downer of a story, Smithereens casts a beguiling spell as an everlasting record of the shifting punk scene in America.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
Smithereens is an unflinching look at a moment in time that is now looked at with rose-colored glasses.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
If Smithereens feels like a first labor of love, it's even more endearing for it, stylistically akin to early titles by John Waters.
Slant Magazine
Steve Macfarlane
It's as unsparing a sketch of twentysomething life in New York City as American independent cinema has yet offered.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Serves as a time capsule for NYC's punk rock scene in the '80s.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Susan Seidelman's feature debut, the first American indie to be shown at the Cannes Film Festival, put New York's East Village sensibility onscreen by examining issues of identity, desire and self-fulfillment from a distinctly female perspective.
