A Breath Away

This as really cool movie. Actually a great metaphor for the Coronavirus that is beginning to take over the world right now.

So many great ideas terrifically executed with some really great acting and non Hollywood action. Loved it!

A few crazy plot flaws but honestly don't impact the movie much but dropped my rating slightly. 😉

It started off as a drama and then went full thriller on me. Since I had not read what I was about to see (it has a cool sounding title doesn't it?) on Prime, I was quite surprised, because I thought this was going to a diffeerent direction. No matter if you are as weird as me and don't read up on the movies you're about to watch or come prepared, the movie is really gripping.

Tension is high throughout, even in moments when I think, that wasn't too clever now was it, the movie still holds a grip on me. And the characters try and do their best considering the situation they find themselves in. Certain things may be a bit too neatly tied up (like the old couple), but overall this would be nitpicking. Just enjoy the thrill and keep guessing where this heads next ... no pun intended

I found this movie after someone shared a clip on social media,so it had me curious to see the whole thing.

This wasn't so much of horror,instead it was a drama almost passing like a thriller.

It kept your attention throughout,as you're intrigued to see how it ends.

Although a bit clichéd,it still was original & overall storyline decent.

When the parents traveled to get a suit for their daughter,why not use both that appeared on the lab shelf? Would of gave better survival chances,spare parts or helping the old couple.. Also why not(try)finding a car,bike or motorcycle to help move around faster to preserve tank oxygen? The father did this.. finally,as the movie is almost over.

Bit odd how the daughter was acting despite her mom died,all going on around her but given she was free of containment & with a boy she loved all seemed ok.. Even though now her dad can only survive,based on the bubbles conditions?

Found it rather interesting the gas causing those in bubble chambers to breath,could end up surviving outside without help.. As though biologically,things got switched in reverse.

Was the parents not a couple? Seemed dad had a place across the street from daughter & mom or was it for more living space,as the bubble chamber took up space?

I had a flash back to Titanic when the old couple is laying in bed,waiting for their demise.

Was cast & acted decent plus cinematography was fine.

Is worth checking out it is in French,but enjoyable with subtitles if needed.

This is a very good film that avoids all the trite elements of a sci-fi or survivalist story. The characters are sensible and likeable and the story is really good. Check this gem out folks. You won´t regret it.

I really enjoyed this little gem when I stumbled onto it.

It was a fresh concept that got straight into the action, it showcased characters through their exploits rather than having some clumsy method of character building but most refreshing was that the two main protagonists were clever and quick thinking. There wasn't the usual 'why in god's name would they do that' stupidity or similar frustrations. Just decent robust characters trying to figure stuff out.

Okay, the set up did telegraph the ending a little but I found the film thoroughly entertaining and if you like well made 'survival' films then this is defo worh checking out
