Critics Consensus

A Mouthful of Air isn't as emotionally impactful as it might have been, but Amanda Seyfried's devastating performance lends the story weight.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

The film needed less sensitive good taste and more explicit storytelling passion.

Rated: 2/5

Kimber Myers

Los Angeles Times

For a film so grounded in a real-life issue, the movie doesn't work to make its characters feel human or its world feel real, blunting the emotional impact it could have had.
