surirockz94 I was a fan of director Drake Doremus after watchin' his "Like Crazy", the main reason of watching these movie despite of the reviews and ratings, was felicity jones & the direcor. The movie was an intense drama with solid performances from Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones, delivering the delicacy intimation of troubled unveiled emotions inside a married yet a father and an 18-years old girl. May be some find the plot line was disturbing, the film made it up with its measured direction and BGM. what bugs me about the movie was, what happens to Sophie(Felicity Jones) aftermath of the family's exploiting reunion.?? i really need to know what she does with her insecurities and independent little girl inside her?A movie which makes us think twice of ourselves(for those who simply gets involved in this film)

sperryhunt I watched Drake Doremus' 2013 film Breath In last night. I always enjoy seeing Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones, both of whom seem to be everywhere these days. I wondered what would draw them both into what seemed to be a tiny film. I was not disappointed.The story is essentially a British forbidden love novel with all the right beats and few of the traps that D. H. Lawrence would have merrily strewn through it. The actors were well chosen, and every effort was made to restrain what could easily have been a tawdry, melodramatic and self-righteous tale. Doremus, who also wrote the film, made sure that every character had a firm perspective and the romance was attributed at least in part to events in their lives at that moment. What happened could simply not have been avoided by real people, which should be said of all stories.

trippy-681-96574 Drake Doremus can film the very essence of love like no one else - he did it in Like Crazy and he did it here again. For me personally this movie is a way to remember how love is felt when it comes. Love in this movie is felt through natural directing and operator work, beautiful music, nice cast and simple but emotional story. Felicity Jones contributes to the whole impression greatly by her lyrical and mysterious character which is very attractive. Guy Pearce does a solid job too performing a character which can be argued a lot but one can find a true human emotion in it. And this movie is not even about having a good cast, script or camera work... it's about making you feel the same feelings that there are on the screen. One who experienced it in his life will catch it here. This is the true magic cinematography and art in general can give and Drake Doremus is a person who makes it feel real from the screen. Astounding.

seedpetal This is the story of a suburban family that takes in a foreign exchange student from the UK and how their worlds got turned upside-down in that time. The fact is, their worlds were already crashing in around them, but no one was willing to notice anything beyond the board game playing, family picture taking facade they put on. The teenage daughter had already had sex with a guy she had a crush on but wouldn't commit to her because he was too busy blabbing their business to everyone. The father was living a mundane life teaching instead of playing music. The mother seemed oblivious to any of the feelings the other two are having. The exchange student arrives, catches the eye of the daughter's crush, as well as her own father's. As the plot unfolds, I was able to predict all of the major happenings that occurred. The daughter's self- destructive, self- absorbed, alcohol induced over emotion led her to a serious car crash when she ends up losing it. The crush tries to hook up with the exchange student, and when she refuses, he smears her name across the school. And the wife smashes her cookie jar collection when she finally realizes what's going on under her nose between her husband and this 18 year old girl. I found it quite contradicting that the husband finally gets the chair he wanted and the job he has been dreaming of, and is willing to throw it all away the next day by running away with a teenager he had essentially just met. It's hard to see him in a good light when he is willing to do such a thing to his family. I kept desperately hoping that the connection between the leads was more of a father daughter connection, because she had lost her dad and uncle, and his own daughter wasn't into music. My hopes were dashed when they became physical and i found it creepy and unnecessary. they could have gone a totally different way with this and made the film more touching and inspiring. Instead, it bread negativity with no solution. Having said all of that, the scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the score was magnificent. The acting was also superb. Each actor played their character to a T and it was very believable. However, wish I hadn't wasted my time with this one.
