A Mouthful of Air

Tough to Find the Intention and Obstacle in this Film but each viewer will take it differently. Smart Move without the Blood. Amanda Seyfried really gets the character and her Facial expressions are priceless. I am impressed with her taking on these Emotional Roles, like (The Art of Racing in the Rain) and (Fathers and Daughters). The pace of Movie maybe an issue with Some but recommend riding it out to the very end. Sticks with you, so I may do some editing to my comments after sleeping on it.

This film is about mental health, postpartum depression. I love the way they directed the film. Instead of showing knife or bloody scene, they showed her facial expression to let us feel the pain. Such an emotional movie. Amanda did an amazing job portrait her character.

"A Mouthful of Air" is a film that expresses a difficult issue. It makes viewers care about the characters and the issue at hand. I think Amanda Seyfried did a very good job.

It's not an emotional roller coaster, just a steady cruise down in the dumps. If you don't like sad movies then this one definitely isn't for you, because when it gets depressing it stays that way and when you think it's gonna get better it doesn't. I think it's beautiful in a melancholic way because things don't always end well and these things happen so it'd be disingenuous if every movie or story you read suggests otherwise and they live happily ever after. Only thing close to a fault the movie had for me is Julie's character is only explored surface level but I think if she wasn't it might've made the movie a little too upsetting to watch for people affected by or going through something similar.

Back in the 90's. Where postpartum depression was rarely recognized, women who suffered from it often didn't get the help they need. Amanda Seyfried here played as Julie Davis, a woman with childhood trauma and postpartum depression. And even tough her husband was quite supporting, something still need to be face alone by herself in order to make peace with it.

This movie portrait the postpartum depression in a moderate gentle way. Viewers would sympathize with the protagonist and at the same time ask the question about how can we help women with postpartum depression and trauma. Oh, and don't forget to watch Paul Giamatti's refreshing cameo here.

Worth watching 8/10.
