Human Stain, The (2003) | Nicole Kidman, Jacinda Barrett
"Kidman, as sexy as she's ever been, really goes at it in several scenes, maybe 5 or 6. Again and again we're treated to a cheek-collapsing drag, an inhale to her toes, and a long, forceful, thick exhale. We must see about 20 of these drags and 10 of the exhales in all, most with good lighting. She also dangles seductively while awaiting a light in one scene, and has an occasional talking exhale through mouth and nose. Her best smoking performance in any film. And there's a cherry on top: The lovely blonde Jacinda Barrett plays an sweet small-town coed, and since her scenes are in 1940s flashbacks, she smokes as well. One scene in an apartment features holding and one decent exhale, another in a record store listening booth shows a few drags, unfortunately only in blurry background."

Nicole Kidman - Proof - "How come Nicole Kidman smokes (incessantly) in [Human Stain, The (2003)]? I asked director Robert Benton on his stop in L.A. for the pic's preem Tuesday p.m. at the ArcLight in Hollywood. Benton explained, 'She (Nicole) told me she'd spent a lot of time in shelters talking to battered women. They leaned on them (cigarettes) as a crutch. And it helped define her character as self-destructing.' He assured me she stopped smoking as soon as the film was completed", Daily Variety Magazine, Army Archerd gossip column, Oct. 23, '03
