Had the privilege to see this film at the San Diego filled festival before premieres in theaters. Was very impressed and emotionally moved very early on in the film. Well not quite on the level of ' The theory of everything', movie will definitely tell that your heartstrings and have you crying pretty quickly. ![]() Myself being disabled, especially struck a chord for me to see how things used to be for people with disabilities and made me thankful that I was born when I was in that things have progressed so well in the last century. Andrew Garfield gave him moving performance it as robin Cavendish. He better get his Oscar speech ready. I also really enjoyed some aspects of the film that are not addressed another disability films, namely the relationship between the disabled and their children. This film does so it was really devastate you when you get to see that Robin wasn't really able to be there physically as a father to his son another power house is claire foy.plays Robbins wife who is the one who advocates for him and inspires him to keep going. This film also previews you to the horrors disabled people had to live through before Robin and Diane became advocates. While the ending of this film is not as uplifting as 'the theory of everything', for some reason that movie devastates me much more than this one did. I wonder if that had anything to do with who was in charge of the film. This phone was produced by the couple's son Jonathan, who basically made a love letter to his parents. You won't see the trials and tribulations of being disabled as much here, just a beautiful love story between two people. Highly recommend it. ETA: now that critical reviews of this film have come out, I am highly insulted that critics wanted to see more of robin's struggles than triumphs. I never believed the term 'inspiration porn' but i do now. It disgusts me that people wanted to see the grittier side of robin's illness. Our health problems are not for you to exploit. I feel just enough was shown to get the point.

Starring the very talented Andrew Garfield this is the true story of Robin Cavendish who contracted polio in Africa in 1958. Paralysed from the neck down and only remaining alive because he was attached to a respirator he fell into a depression and wished to be allowed to die. With the aid of his wife Diana (played by Claire Foy) who absolutely refused to give up on him, he left the hospital and managed to live a life which enabled him to be at home with his family and watch his son grow up. Not content to stay at home he enlisted the help of a talented inventor friend (Hugh Bonneville) to help him become more mobile and this enabled him to travel and to show other polio patients that there could be life outside their hospital beds. Films based on true stories are almost always touching and emotional and this was no exception. An absolutely astounding piece of acting from Andrew Garfield, who for 80% of the film could only give us the character of Robin by moving his eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth, yet he portrayed this character with sensitivity and compassion without coming across as too sentimental. Andy Serkis made his directorial debut on this film, and it was co produced by Jonathan Cavendish, son of Robin and Diana. Reviewed by Paul Evans 8 / 10 Heart warming, sad, beautifully made. Breathe has to be one of the most touching films I've seen in a while, you'd be hard hearted if you weren't moved close to tears as you see the life of Robin Cavendish fall apart, and that of the family around him. You also see the triumph of the human heart, how everything is done to get him home. Having had a grandmother who was inflicted with polio and disabled it brought a tear to my eye to remember, and think how easy a disease polio was and sadly still is to contract. Andrew Garfield gives a wonderful performance, as does Claire Foy. It would surprise me if there weren't BAFTA nominations. The biggest surprise for me was seeing the name of Andy Serkis, who made his directorial debut, I would have expected him to be associated with someone slightly more unusual, but it's a promising start to that side of his career. If I had one criticism it would be that the film was perhaps too long, it did lull a bit in the middle. If you're going in expecting something light hearted, then don't go, as it will have you in tears, if you're expecting a gritty, true to life story of overcoming adversity, then this is one film I'd recommend.
