Roberts is seen exhaling once in silhouette. Gyllenhaal is seen lighting a post-coital cigarette but the movie cuts away. |
Happy Endings

Kudrow has one drag and exhale shot from a distance. Gyllenhaal takes a hit off a joint in one scene, and in another scene lights up with an exhale, also from a distance. There should have been a lot more, given the context of the movie |
Mona Lisa Smile

In an interview, Gyllenhaal says her character smokes in all her scenes in this movie |
Paris, je t'aime

Big disappointment. Natalie Portman does not smoke [really] at all. There is a split second glimpse of a hookah and some talk about smoking. But nothing to see. Maggie Gyllenhaal takes several deep drags from a joint. Exhales are full, but cut up by editing. Maggie Gyllenhaal - Smokes a joint in one scene |
Secretary
|
smokingsides
A half hour or so in, I was thinking 'No way is she gonna smoke in this movie,' as her character is a rather prim and repressed young women. But right after she embarks on an S/M relationship with her boss, we see her lying on her back in bed, reading Cosmo, cigarette in hand. She takes a long, luxurious drag, inhales deeply, and exhales toward the camera with impish pleasure. Then she puts the cigarette in an ashtray and masturbates. :-) Unfortunately, she never smokes again, but that one brief scene is terrific. |
Sherrybaby
|
smokingsides
Gyllenhaal lights up frequently and inhales, but the few exhales shown are pretty weak. There's one good scene in which she gives a cigarette to Bridget Barkan. Barkan has some good inhales, and a couple of fairly good exhales photographed from the side. There's also a bit of ambient smoking. |
The Great New Wonderful
|
smokingsides
One nice scene dangling, lighting, and noisily exhaling twice in her bathroom before handing the cig off to her husband who's lounging in the tub, but the lighting is so poor you can hardly see any smoke. Two later scenes each feature well-lit, thick exhales. Not bad. |
