Breathe In Movie Reviews
“Intimate, expressive, agonizing and beautifully rendered.” The Playlist
“The story of the ingenue who enters the fold and awakens deep feelings is nothing new, but Doremus makes it all utterly captivating. He mines just the right amount of drama and spontaneous comedy from each moment and the foreshadowing is perfectly weighted.” The Guardian
