Jaco Bouwer’s Breathing In is a somber, evocative supernatural chamber piece with lots to show, little to say.

Eye for Film

Succeeds in creating and maintaining a chilly atmosphere of the sort rarely found in modern cinema.

Tremendous performances from its cast. ... A constant injection of a subtly dropped but very cool collection of horrific and terrifying imagery. This is one for fans of classic horror films from the post-war era of the 50s through 70s.

Vague Visages

“‘Breathing In’ effectively deconstructs themes of eternity, loyalty and slow strategy — it’s a timely tale about the horrors of war.”

Breathing In never completely reveals its hand and is better for it: a bewildering film of enigmatic beauty and shadowy apprehension.

The sets, costume design, acting, and cinematography were on point. This is such a well made movie. I would categorize this as chamber horror and was executed with precision. The only aspect lacking for me was the story. I do think this was fully intended to be ambiguous. However, when I thought about the movie as a whole, not a lot happened or was explained. If this doesn't bother you and you like suspense/horror movies i would highly recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
