Full Plot Details

I AM BREATHING reminds us what it is to be alive - a tale of fun and laughs with a smattering of upset and devastation. Within a year, Neil Platt goes from being a healthy 30-something British bloke with a great sense of humor to becoming completely paralyzed from the neck down, thanks to the devastating illness he has inherited - known as ALS, MND, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. As his body gets weaker, his perspective on life changes. His humor remains, but new wisdom emerges: "It's amazing how adaptable we are when we have to be. It's what separates us and defines us as human beings." Knowing he only has a few months left to live, and while he still has the ability to speak, Neil puts together a letter and memory box for his baby son Oscar and communicates his experience and thoughts about life in a blog - and in this film which he was determined to make. The directness of his communication mingles with images of the sensory details of a life well lived, and makes us revalue the ordinary. His blog posts form the film's narration as he tells his own story through memories and impressions of his life - the sheer joy of falling in love, of partying with his mates, of fast motorbike rides. Through his determination to share his final journey, he makes us ask questions about our own lives.

Movie Reviews

Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenA sober, conventionally told doc about a man who is dying of Motor Neurone Disease, known as Lou Gehrig's disease in the U.S.
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Scott Jordan HarrisAn earnest and important film. It deserves to be seen by anyone who is interested in documentaries and anyone who is interested in the simple human stories movies too often overlook.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Neil YoungThe last couple of years in one tragically truncated life are chronicled with a winning combination of sensitivity and humor in I Am Breathing.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Christopher SchobertI Am Breathing is not a documentary intended to induce sobbing. It is, instead, a film about dying that is stunningly alive, wildly optimistic, and always insightful and entertaining.
London Evening Standard - 8/10 by Charlotte O'SullivanIf the film-makers' aim was to close the gap between viewers and "victims" of motor neurone disease, they have done themselves proud.
Irish Times - 8/10 by Donald ClarkeThe Platts prove that it is possible to face up to the most appalling challenges with dignity.
Daily Express (UK) - 8/10 by Allan HunterIt is a straightforward and understated documentary of personal tragedy with a lesson for us all on how precious and fleeting life can be.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by David JenkinsManages to be concurrently moving and unsentimental - a very tough balance.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Nigel AndrewsA tragic, insightful, harrowing documentary.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Chris BuckleDeeply moving, with moments of absurd humour and profound beauty amidst the sadness.
