What critics compared Breathe to
But in each case they work within the context of the film, in addition to paying homage some of the great teen cinema, be it The Virgin Suicides or Rebel Without a Cause, that’s come before.
Think of Breatheas a distant European cousin to the fraught teen movies of Larry Clark as well as Catherine Hardwicke’s Thirteen, stories of imperiled youth, loneliness and volatile sentiment.
