Leave your thoughts about The Deepest Breath.
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerA story of courage, trust and tragedy, the last of which materializes in ways that are at once shattering and uplifting. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyEloquent and moving, The Deepest Breath shows what it's like "down there," why people risk their lives to free fall into the blackness where it is so quiet, and why they also risk their lives to bring divers in trouble back up to the noisy surface. |
| The GuardianLauren MechlingRounding out the pervasive sense of fear and ecstasy is a mesmerizing, sometimes mind-altering, depiction of the ocean’s depths. When one beholds Zecchini’s figure undulating to the sound of nothing, it’s all too clear that thrill-seeking is only part of the story. |
| The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe copious talking heads fail to open up the intellectual wiring required to derive pleasure from an activity that invites submarine asphyxiation. What we do get is lucid explanation of the sport’s mechanics and satisfactory celebration of two impressively unstoppable personalities. A smart buy for the streamer. |
| Rolling StoneChris VognarThe line between suspense and manipulation can be mighty fine. But The Deepest Breath walks it well. The filmmakers know they have a good story on their hands, and they shape it with sensitivity to the star-crossed divers and to the viewer. In the end it is well worth the plunge. |
| ColliderTherese LacsonMcGann weaves together an emotional and tragic tale in the third act, one that hits hard after following the story of these two lovers throughout the film. Mixing this with the magnificent footage of an alien underwater world, one that few of us will ever see with our own eyes, and there is a lot to like. |
| SlashfilmBen PearsonA mesmerizing, powerful glimpse at the irresistible siren call of the deep and a somber record of the human cost of pushing boundaries. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonMcGann, whose 2016 documentary “Revolutions” explored the women’s roller derby scene in Ireland, spins a compelling yarn about two fascinating people, although she doesn’t go much below the surface. |
| Paste MagazineNatalia KeoganWhile the informative aspects of The Deepest Breath are enthralling in their own right, the footage that McGann procures is nothing short of enchanting. |
| We Got This CoveredMartin CarrFilled with awe-inspiring imagery, and a heartbreaking real-life tragedy, 'The Deepest Breath' is powerful stuff. |
