Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

Movies about addicts are a dime a dozen, but Cocaine Angel does its own thing, mixing humor with bleakness and resisting the too-common urge to romanticize addiction. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Pitch-perfect central perf (by scribe and co-producer Damian Lahey), total lack of dramatic artifice and surreally situational humor make for a minor-key vignette of unmistakable, if unstable, authenticity. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Harnessing the twin virtues of drollness and economy, Mr. Tully keeps scenes brief and melodrama on the margins. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Cocaine Angel may be a fine counterpoint to glammy cocaine-scare films like "Less Than Zero" (1987) and "Blow" (2001), but it comes on so strong it risks being dismissed along with the "this is your brain on drugs" school of dope-scare PSAs. Read full review
