      Ian Fantastic account of a truly terrifying story. Really incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/23 Full Review Chelle S very moving and suspenseful- I thought he had died! Excellent doc! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review isla s This is very much a documentary film rather than a dramatised version of events, with many people recounting their memories of the terrifying events that took place. Obviously there is a reenactment but its more a talking head piece than anything else. However, the story is certainly intriguing and its good that we, as the viewer, get a decent idea of what the other colleagues are like. Its a bit frustrating that by the end of the film, we don't know all the details about how things worked out as they did but its pretty watchable and interesting while its playing regardless and if your interested in diving and the like, then you should definitely give this a watch. I do feel like there was maybe more to the story that we're not shown but I suppose not enough is known right now, science wise, to be able to explain what we don't have explained. As documentary films go, this is a perfectly decent one - I wouldn't call it a gripping watch per se but its certainly pretty watchable and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the story, yes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I was worried that this film might be.. suffocating. But no, it the exact right balance of drama, reality and action. Never a dull moment, and such a human story. The characters are really unique, including the emotionless one (can't remember his name) who admitted that he didn't worry too much when he realised.. (stopping here, no spoilers) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review toby h Last Breath is a powerful documentary that will leave you on the edge of your seat. A race against time scenario keeps you guessing throughout. A down to Earth bunch who you wholly get behind. Breathe this one in. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In a vein similar to the classic British documentary Touching the Void, Last Breath tells the story of survival against all odds. This time though, the setting is the bottom of the North Sea rather than the top of a Peruvian mountain. While I don't think this is quite as good as Touching the Void, it does an excellent job of telling the story by expertly weaving together interviews, real-life footage and re-enacted segments.

      Ed Potton Times (UK) It's affecting stuff -- there are few things more moving than tough men getting emotional. Rated: 4/5 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian This is a workmanlike iteration somewhat ploddingly true to its genre, from the style of lighting used for the interviews, to the sweeping, keening strings-led soundtrack, to the almost shocking moments of humour and honesty. Rated: 3/5 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Indiana Tarrant Little White Lies Not unenjoyable, just not as enjoyable as it could've been. Rated: 3/5 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz If you like your stories all wrapped up in a single session, Last Breath is a great wee find. Mar 30, 2021 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate If the intense and thoroughly captivating documentary Last Breath doesn't leave viewers with quickened pulses and goosebumps, they might want to consult their physicians. Rated: 9/10 May 1, 2019 Full Review Glenn Sumi NOW Toronto ...you can't argue with the doc's nail-biting tension, which comes through despite the film's overwrought score.
