Critic Reviews for Last Breath

All Critics (14) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (1)

It's affecting stuff -- there are few things more moving than tough men getting emotional.

Ed Potton
Times (UK)
This is a workmanlike iteration somewhat ploddingly true to its genre, from the style of lighting used for the interviews, to the sweeping, keening strings-led soundtrack, to the almost shocking moments of humour and honesty.

Leslie Felperin
Guardian
Not unenjoyable, just not as enjoyable as it could've been.

Indiana Tarrant
Little White Lies
Alex Parkinson and Richard da Costa's powerful documentary combines reconstruction with original footage.

Nigel Andrews
Financial Times
The film is let down by an approach that goes for impact over insight, but Last Breath is a worthy entry to the 'hostile environment' documentary subgenre.

Dan Jolin
Empire Magazine
If you like your stories all wrapped up in a single session, Last Breath is a great wee find.

If the intense and thoroughly captivating documentary Last Breath doesn't leave viewers with quickened pulses and goosebumps, they might want to consult their physicians.

Andrew Parker
The Gate
...you can't argue with the doc's nail-biting tension, which comes through despite the film's overwrought score.

The movie as a whole is a vigorous, involving account of dramatic events.

Edward Porter
Sunday Times (UK)
Last Breath makes for a very decent entry into the survival genre of films like Touching the Void with the added appeal of the submarine movie and all the claustrophobia and intensity that comes with that.

CineVue
It may feel a bit too brisk, but the tricky editing tells the story with a maximum kick.

April 3, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
Ultimately, the film is a stirring tribute to a band of unpretentiously likable, yet highly skilled individuals, bonded together in their own ways, and looking out for each other whatever the danger.
