I don't mind the story concept, the scenery is great, there is some interesting camera work, but... the side characters are bafflingly nutty and rather over-the-top, the two main characters are bad actors and also very annoying. The dialogue is the worst part of this movie. It just annoys me that so much time, effort and money was put into making this film, and it sucks because of the writing. It's boring and incredibly trite; there are some interesting concepts here with the cigarettes, but there is nothing else redeeming about the story, unfortunately. The main couple bickers for no apparent reason, they constantly contradict themselves, what they say makes little sense. I actually stopped the movie with 15 minutes to go; I just couldn't take it anymore, and I gave zero shites what happened to the couple.
If you are watching this movie based on the leading lady's looks and the hope of seeing some skin, you will be disappointed. There is very little, and this movie is not worth sitting through just to catch a few wee glimpses. Trust me.

Mad genius
In this eccentric yet captivating film, it's clear that the director is a mastermind, blending madness with genius in a way that might not resonate with everyone, but undoubtedly leaves an impression. While it's not flawless, the film finds a delicate balance, embracing imperfections and utilizing them to its advantage. Rather than succumbing to the temptation to overproduce, the director opts for authenticity, cultivating an atmosphere that invites viewers into a raw and relatable narrative. This approach not only allows the actors to shine but also fosters a sense of genuine, messy humor, providing audiences with a refreshingly real-life experience from a unique third-person perspective. Overall, while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, this film offers a refreshing departure from the norm and a testament to the power of embracing imperfection in storytelling.
