A French-as-all-hell portmanteau pic framed around a wonky Power Rangers-like team of heroes and their slime-drooling rat boss straight out of Meet the Feebles, featuring Quentin Dupieux’s trademark weirdness, plenty of gore and a healthy serving of comic Gallic disdain.

The New York Times
The New York Times"It’s as consistently surprising and deranged a movie as any from (Dupieux's) output, even if not for all tastes, which he knows."
—
IndieWire
IndieWire"It’s not a criticism to say that Smoking Causes Coughing doesn’t hold together, because cohesion isn’t what Dupieux is going for."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Harmless stupidity is where Dupieux thrives. Smoking Causes Coughing plays to these strengths, being both sublimely silly and unpredictably, addictively light."

Slant Magazine
Slant Magazine"The sheer irreverence of everything here... is more than enough to cause serious giggling fits."

Variety
Variety"Smoking Causes Coughing brings to mind Psycho Goreman in its blend of absurdist humour, buckets of gore, and rubber monsters."
