Broken Flowers

Terrific, but not for smoking. Swinton holds in one scene, but you can't even see the cigarette, just a lot of smoke from it drifting across her face.

Swinton: Two scenes. In the last one she performs a cheek-hollowing five second drag followed by an excellent nose exhale. Madigan: Smokes throughout. Sillas: One scene with several drags. Only one visible exhale. Good holding.

Smokes in a few scenes, with maybe half a dozen inhales and a few of her usual nose exhales. Smokes in a deleted scene, 3 inhales with 1 full nose exhale and the beginning of another exhale.

Thumbsucker
