Playing a tough but sensitive runaway, Ellen Page has her best smoking performance so far in this film. There's a quick early close-up of her dangling as she hitchhikes, then, in a scene in which she and Brown sit together smoking and drinking, there are several close shots of her inhaling, although she doesn't exhale much smoke. She has an oddly overemphatic way of dragging that may be her interpretation of the tough character or could suggest that she wasn't a regular smoker but wanted to make sure she was really inhaling. Her best scene comes later in the film, when she and Brown are supposed to have sworn off smoking in their new life with a kind of a communal cult. As they work in the fields, Brown tempts her with either a joint or a cigarette. Page drags several times, and the editing allows us to see one thick exhale that's worth the effort of finding this film. As Page's thirty-something but equally lost mother, Natasha Wightman smokes well a couple of times. |
