Breathe's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
It?s a gorgeous, romantic drama that earns its emotional resonance without venturing beyond the most familiar beats.
Empire
There's a hint of comforting, chocolate-box, Sunday-night TV here, but it's delivered via such quietly powerful performances and with such hope that it's hard to resist.
Variety
This earnestly romantic biopic of odds-beating polio patient Robin Cavendish and his unwavering wife, Diana, keeps its eyes moist and its upper lip stiff to the last ? but its sweeping inspirational gestures rarely reach all the way to the heart.
Los Angeles Times
It?s a much more effectively touching movie toward the end, when the twin engines of a rousing speech and a tough decision achieve dutiful emotional liftoff. But in leaving out the rasp of life from this unusual story, 'Breathe' too often feels like a mechanized exhale.
New York Times
Offering no hint of the backbreaking drudgery and mental strain of their predicament, this gauzy picture is a closed loop of rose-tinted memories.
