Three times excellent, three times good, three times barely average and twice unbearable. A disappointing record for a filmmaker of Jarmusch's stature. Unfortunately.

Coffee and Cigarettes is a mix of the great and the barely mediocre, dominated by the stories featuring A-list actors: Cate Blanchett / Cate Blanchett, Alfred Molina / Steve Coogan, Iggy Pop / Tom Waits, Bill Murray / GZA & RZA. Their stories have Jarmusch’s distinctive touch, but the rest just cringily stretch the film out to its intended feature-length runtime. Of those other stories, perhaps only the final, “non-actor” episode about the workers is worth watching.

When Paterson premiered in movie theaters, I was experiencing a small biographical withdrawal and desperately looked around to satisfy my "craving" for a movie theater. Although the reviews, comments, and professional reviews were great, based on my own experience, Jarmusch belongs to a group of creators where this way of gathering information and forming an image of the film doesn't work because the director's cult distorts qualified debate. Personally, I divide Jarmusch's work into two groups. The first includes Dead Man or Night on Earth, and the second Only Lovers Left Alive. The second group openly bores me and evokes indifference; I would rather place Coffee and Cigarettes in the second group. The first two stories set my expectations at a freezing point. I wanted to give up, but fortunately, I knew that there would be better stories, like the dialogue of the sisters in the charming double role of Cate Blanchett. This dialogue is often used as an acting exercise in art schools. However, there are fewer of the more interesting stories and they cannot lift the whole to an average level. Jarmusch often works with banality and stereotype, but not in any innovative way. It's rather tiresome, and shallow, sometimes based solely on the presence of a celebrity, other times on a single joke that is stretched to several minutes and cannot fill the space. Several of the stories that have a point have essentially banal messages. That Jarmusch's numerous fan club probably considers it a discovery of America and so on, and is also fascinated by the static form based on repetition, is a different matter. Jarmusch often works with minimalism but here it sometimes borders on insulting the viewer. The only interesting thing about his movie for me is that he filmed a tobacco-infused film at the same time when tobacco was being rapidly pushed out of public spaces in the USA. Regardless of whether Jarmusch intended the film as a nostalgic reflection of past times or an artistic protest against the loss of a certain freedom and experience, I do not share his stance. Overall impression: 45%.

I don't smoke, and I've had coffee twice in my life (once out of youthful indiscretion, the second time just out of indiscretion), but fortunately it was no great handicap when watching Coffee and Cigarettes. Jim Jarmusch wrote some excellent short stories with Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Cate Blanchett (twice), Alfred Molina, Steve Coogan and Bill Murray, interspersed them with endearing antics like Tesla's Transformer and Elvis' evil twin, and another original piece, this time full of caffeine and nicotine, was born. I can't say that any of the stories were uninteresting or somehow excessive. Still, I found the film a few minutes longer than necessary for absolute satisfaction.

A collection of short stories in which coffee and cigarettes play the main role besides the actors. For me, as a non-smoker, it's an absolutely horrible combination. I would probably single out only two stories and that's mainly because of the cast and some sort of punchline. Otherwise the rest was average to below average. In short, a film where nicotine lovers will find their own.

Quite a nice demonstration for us from Jarmusch on how not to do dialogue. Some of the sketches are great, but some are complete crap. However, with a cigarette and coffee in hand, I have to give 4 stars.

I've been wanting to see this movie since the year it came out. I've only now managed to get around to watching it, and finally, I could find out if Jim Jarmusch will be able to impress me with another film besides just Broken Flowers. Jarmusch directed three stories during the 80s and 90s, then added more to create this unique anthology film that focuses heavily on dialogues, which I quite enjoy. Roberto Benigni and Steven Wright have an interesting start and end with an absurd point, which is somewhat similar to another story with Steve Buscemi, although I didn't quite connect with it as much, even though the idea with Elvis is intriguing. Tom Waits is a big favorite of mine, and his voice is simply amazing. He clicked with Iggy Pop, and Jarmusch shows he can direct almost anyone effectively. The story with Cate Blanchett is cinematically intriguing. RZA and GZA show that in the presence of Bill Murray, they are definitely not just background figures. It’s an incredibly unbalanced film that won't suit everyone. But as I said, I quite like conversational pieces.
