      Ashleysmashley good movie..very realistic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Audience Member I had to use my inhaler after watching this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Conny M A piece of shit, great ambientance. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Intense, if ever you were (or are) a teenager who seemingly attracted drama and toxic people to you this movie is perfect for you to not feel alone; the essence of youth guides the tone for the film and in the midst of social pressure, ecstasy, sex , ego and insecurity most of all the film unravels into an increasingly toxic relationship between two beautiful but insecure teenagers whose jealousy of each other ultimately leads to terrible consequences. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Show the manipulation of female friendship and being pushed over the edge by emotional and psychological bullying; thoughtful direction by Laurent and Japy and Laage are superb Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The storyline is actually quite simple but I feel that the duration of the movie is too long in building suspense. And it's not as interesting as I imagined. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Alison Willmore BuzzFeed News Breathe is a deftly observed look at teen power games and how closeness can turn to animosity in one miserable night out. Dec 4, 2015 Full Review Kate Erbland Film School Rejects Laurent has an excellent eye for shot composition, and cinematographer Arnaud Potier's crisp photography aids the director in creating an enviable set of gorgeous and memorable shots, and the film is consistently visually compelling. Rated: A- Oct 16, 2015 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post In some ways it plays like a horror movie, in other ways it's almost a documentary. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Their close bond, however, slowly becomes a hostile, sometimes violent one. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org The drama rises on the rich performances of its two leads ... Neither girl is unsympathetic, which makes the ending of Breathe as sad and as startling as it feels inevitable. Aug 14, 2022 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages "'Breathe' works on various levels thanks to Arnaud Potier's cinematography, Laurent's polished direction and the magnetic charisma of the leads."
