Anakin S Apr 28, 2019 Loved it! Such a masterful display of themes like addiction and what its like being around a disordered personality. The tone was perfectly tense and keeps you on the edge of your seat worrying about what Becky will do next. You feel the sense of being taken hostage by her whims right alongside her onscreen victims. The director was able to so clearly portray exactly how it feels to be immersed in a relationship with an unstable personality in the drug culture. And the 90s punk/grunge theme provided an original, fresh setting. I found it genius. See more

Leia R Apr 26, 2019 I don't want to say it but I can't help myself--forgive me! "Her Smell" should have been entitled, "She Smells". For the first hour and a half, we watch a rock star spiral down from fame after too many drugs, not being able to handle fame, care for her daughter, losing her ex, not showing up on time for concerts if even showing up at all, doing a recording session, basically having a complete breakdown. The director, Alex Ross Perry, shows us all of it through a regular camera, a handheld camera, a phone camera while traveling back and forth in time not to forget having all the cameras swirling, upside down, going ever each way. The director, who also wrote the script, convinced us, showed us, that she was having a breakdown but instead of telling it in 15 minutes he took 90 minutes. Perry is the sort of director that if he shows two women kissing he has to show them kissing 10 times just in case we missed the point! I was ready to leave at the 30-minute point and said so to Allen at least 5 more times! For the last 40-45 minutes of the film, we see her recovery and then get to the 'Hollywood' ending. Elisabeth Moss has proven herself an excellent actress and draws many audience members to see her television series but if the audience at today's showing is any indication, 3 of us, she isn't a movie draw! Okay, will give her a benefit of a doubt because the final Avengers did open today also. I won't rewrite my opening play on words but this film is definitely on my worst films of the year but "The Climax" is still in first place! See more

Anakin G Apr 26, 2019 Same scene in different locations repeated ad infinitum. After 10 minutes you know all you need to know about Becky. How often can you be reminded that she's not worth knowing. If the answer is 10+, then you might enjoy the movie (if you can also get over the pretentious closeups and lingering) camera). See more

Rey W Apr 17, 2019 As much as I liked the acting, especially of Elisabeth Moss, I really disliked this movie. The plot was just weak and stretched way too long. So many cliches. See more

Ron P Apr 16, 2019 movie, "Her Smell"(2019), IS NOT WORTH GOING TO SEE THIS at a THEATER(MOVIES place), that I saw this on Sunday April 21, 2019 in GREAT CITY: Austin, Texas! I saw this with around 100 PEOPLE(I did NOT KNOW ANY of the around 100 people.) who TENDED for AGREED with ME, and it is NOT WORTH GOING SEE THIS or WATCH this at HOME on your TV, and DO NOT PAY($) ANYTHING to SEE THIS! (But, the VERY END of this movie,around taking 10 minutes,was GOOD/BEST PART of WHOLE MOVIE, almost 3 HOURS LONG.) See more
