Review of Breath

Breath (I) (2017)
3/10
There is nothing tender about statutory rape
9 April 2021
I really liked the way this film began and, if had only been about surfing it would've been great. But around 2/3 in it took a twisted detour that ruined the movie for me. Sex between a knowing adult and a naive preteen should not be shown as sweet. It's called statutory rape, people. Add to that the countless F-bombs and, as time went by, the film just went downhill. It had so much potential, but no. It doesn't matter that it was a memoir. This is not a coming of age tale that needs to be told or seen. It is VERY adult. And even some adults, like myself, will squirm with some of the things that happen.
