Leave your thoughts about Breath.
| Silver Screen RiotMatt OakesRuminating surfer drama Breath, based on the best-seller fromTim Winton, cherishes the micro exchanges of male machismo. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoThere's a richness to cinematographer Arnaud Potier's work here that mirrors the depth of the characters, often times operating in various shades of blue and making evocative use of the natural light he lets in. |
| Seattle TimesBrent McKnightStrong performances by Samson Coulter, Ben Spence and Elizabeth Debicki anchor a delicate coming-of-age story that explores masculinity and fear, and, like surfing, is equally about what’s beneath as on the surface |
| Columbus UndergroundHope MaddenIt's entirely about the journey, the solitude and the fear-what an individual can make of those elements, what those elements make of an individual. |
| The Victoria AdvocateJoe FriarThe Australian surfer drama is the sleeper film of the summer. |
| GuardianLuke BuckmasterIt is the rarest kind of sports movie, in that it will encourage in participants a different, thoroughly thoughtful perspective with which to view their pastime. Breath is a surfer film with soul and gravitas. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesThere is something bigger here than simple coming-of-age, although there is that too. It's a film about the cracks in our masculinity, rather than the thing itself. |
| Adelaide ReviewDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyThe best Aussie movie of the year so far. |
| ABC Radio (Australia)Matt NealBaker is to be commended for bringing this story to the big screen and delivering it so well... One of the better Aussie films in recent years. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversBaker makes the strongest impression not just with photography on the surf and underneath it – kudos to "water cinematographer" Rick Rifici – but through understanding how surfing allows these boys to aspire as well as dare. |
