Movies
Avenging Angelo

only smokes in one scene, but she does an excellent job with a talk-exhale shot with her face facing the camera, and a part at the end of the scene where she takes 2 or 3 drags in quick succession with exhales. The main complaint is the director edits part of the scene too choppily where she would have had a couple of good inhales and exhales. |
Octane
smokingsides
Madeleine smokes frequently and competently, with lots of light-ups and inhales, though few good exhales. However, as in some of her other films, she doesn't seem to enjoy it. Perhaps this is intentional in her portrayal of a nervous unhappy divorced mother, but my guess would be that she doesn't smoke IRL, at least these days. She seems to approach each drag like an effort, an acting challenge that she's up to but not used to. Mischa Barton, on the other hand, playing her daughter, doesn't smoke cigarettes in the film but really throws herself into a brief scene in which she's getting stoned (and mind-controlled) on a large joint. The scene is mostly played at extremely fast speed, but if you slow it down, she seems to inhale and definitely plays with her smoke, receiving a shotgun from a guy, doing a kind of french inhale, exhaling large clouds at the camera, etc. Bijou Phillips, whose IRL story suggests that she could probably smoke rings around either of them, so to speak, continues to frustrate on film - the closest she gets to smoking that I could see - unless there's more in the wildly speeded-up frames - is handing the joint to Mischa and encouraging her to smoke. |
Short Cuts

Madeleine: a few scenes and she even inhales a few drags. Frances: two good scenes. [Cusack] close to the end of the film riding bike in a park |
