Such a frustrating disappointment
Purely Joyful Movie!
Crappy film
Best movie ever!
Finally watched this movie, been wanting to for a long time, and wasn't disappointed at all. In fact it was even better than I expected! Great acting by Andrew Garfield and Clair Foy as well as a great supporting cast. Hard to believe this is a true story, but it is, wonderful, unselfish people, full of adventure and wanting to help others with disabilities! They were a devoted couple with great friends, that woke up the medical community to treat polio and other victims of disease with respect and let them LIVE if they wish to. Gives you hope in humanity in this time of inhuman behaviour all over the world. Be prepared to ball your eyes out at times, don't want to ruin anything, but well worth watching, despite the cry! So many supportive people in their lives helped out in so many ways, even some they didn't know(the Spain scenes). All in all a really great movie, I may watch it again and I rarely say that!!
Breathe is an interesting fact based film because it reveals the isolated lives of polio victims in the late 50's and 60's. Really loved how the whole story was portrayed. Performance of the casts were amazing. . It will let you feel what true love is, what family is & lastly inspires us, it let us understand own will is the true mantra behind achieving something. this It made me cry at the end :'( Loved every bit of this movie
I liked this movie more than I expected. I cried so much and that´s a good sign because they managed to relate to the characters. Good acting.
An interesting movie - another movie based on a true story Andrew Garfield gives a great performance as Andrew Cavendish a polio victim who would rather die than exist in an iron lung so commissions his friend to invent a wheelchair with a respirator, which changes the lives of millions of polio sufferers as handicapped people.A love story also with Claire Foy playing his devoted wife Diana , a little contrived and over saccharine at times but very entertaining.Odd music soundtrack with songs that made it seem as though they couldn't afford an original composer.
