Breathe In Ratings & Reviews
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Doremus' beautifully shot, naturalistic style means there are no soap-opera hysterics, and he gets strong performances from all involved...But it's hard to get over the fact that Jones, who was born in 1983, is far too old to play a high school student.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Felicity Jones, who is actually 30, makes Sophie both irresistible and real, a somewhat open book of wonder and innate wisdom.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Buoyed by some nicely nuanced performances (especially by Pearce and Amy Ryan as his dream-dashing wife), Breathe In never quite rises above its predictable potboiler premise.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
There's something flimsy and unformed at these characters' cores, something that no amount of jumpy close-ups, skittering sideways glances, and rainy music can make up for.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A breathy tale of a not-quite love affair, Drake Doremus' "Breathe In" is yet another skillfully acted indie drama that's never quite good enough to be memorable.
San Francisco Chronicle
Leba Hertz
Although Jones and Pearce are interesting when onscreen alone, their chemistry is slightly off.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jim Brunzell III
Falters with a bland and predictable emotional connection.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
There's low-key, and then there's limp.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bruce Ingram
Breathe In is all simmer, no boil, despite an abrupt, overwrought, agonizing emotional climax that's too much, too late.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
It's a maddening mix of realistic characters, fine performances, ponderous pacing and oppressive mood lighting, none of which serve to cover up one central, glaring problem: a romance that never feels real.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Fine performances barely make up for this melodrama's narrative bankruptcy.

Leonard Maltin
Drake Doremus and his writing partner Ben York Jones' working method is unorthodox... and earlier films have established them as a creative team who have much on the ball...
CinemaBlend
Kristy Puchko
Enough with the dramas about frustrated older men seeking a second chance at life and love through a barely legal girl. Please.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Every moment between stars Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones feels so much like an explosion about to go off that viewers may hesitate to so much as take a breath at the wrong time for fear of disturbing the film's delicate equilibrium.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The film needs more help than it gets from the script, which turns on facile coincidence and dwindles in originality as it moves toward its climax.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Breathe In" is a good enough movie that you wish the screenplay had further fleshed out its characters and relationships and emerged as more than a skillful sketch.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This indie drama by Drake Doremus impressed me with the amount of mileage it gets from the simple premise without the affair even being consummated.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Sometimes, when it comes to getting across specific themes or ideas, creating a mood can do even more than developing a story or writing dialogue.
Observer
Rex Reed
The May-December romance is an overworked genre, but steady hands guide this one with intelligence to a sad but satisfactory conclusion.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Top performances by Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones ... make the film emotionally rich.
