Breathe / Respire (2014) is amazing !!!!


What a talented young director she is ! It's actually her 2nd feature as a director 3 years after The Adopted (2011).
It's a story about an intense,wild,passionate and eventually tragic friendship between 2 teenagers,one rather shy and introverted and the other,more free spirited.It has definitely the vibe of other great girl friendship movies such as Heavenly Creatures or Blue Is The Warmest Color.
The writing and the performances (especially the 2 leads) are incredibly strong.
I was totally knocked out by the 3rd act of the film.Pretty disturbing stuff.

10/10

... hmm, thought about seeing this movie, but missed it while it was in theaters. although, i would disagree that "blue is warmest color" was strictly a "girl friendship" as there was clearly a sexual lesbian relationship.

Yep, quite good actress unfortunately not used by Hollywood much more.😐
