Up in Smoke

About This Movie

Up in Smoke (2019) is a curious little drama that dives deep into the struggle of addiction, not just to cigarettes but to habits that can spiral out of control. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw off some viewers, but it adds to the disorienting feeling of trying to change one's life. The performances feel raw and authentic, really capturing that sense of desperation and hope. The themes resonate on a personal level, exploring how hard it is to break free from one vice only to stumble into another. It’s interesting how the practical effects are used sparingly, yet they emphasize the weight of the protagonist's choices. Definitely a watch for those interested in character-driven stories.
