Breath

About This Movie

Breath (2017) really captures that raw, sun-soaked vibe of Western Australia. It’s a poignant coming-of-age drama that meanders through the lives of two teenagers, capturing the essence of youth and the longing to break free from the mundane. The pacing feels natural, almost reflective, as you get drawn into their surf lessons with Sando, who adds a kind of rugged wisdom to the mix. The cinematography is stunning, with practical effects that showcase the ocean's wild beauty, and the performances feel authentic—particularly the chemistry between the leads. There’s a deep exploration of friendship, risk, and the bittersweet nature of growing up that resonates throughout. It’s not flashy but has a subtle depth that lingers long after the credits roll.
