"Francis is smoking something--bong, joint, cigarettes--in just about every scene she's in. It's mostly well-filmed, with some powerful inhales & exhales, including a nice French. Kate, looking hotter than I've ever seen her, has two scenes sharing a joint, with one very nice close-up of a deep drag. Unfortunately the camera is off her for any exhale. Overall I would recommend this one, especially for Francis M fans."
"McDormand plays a music producer who smokes throughout the movie, cigs and pot. Some very good scenes of drags, inhales, snaps, one great french inhale, and exhales. Awesome if you think she's attractive. Kate has two pot drag scenes - one with a snap and the camera cuts away; no exhales. Disappointing on the Kate side. Overall highly recommmended."
