The Air I Breathe Reviews

Movie Reviews

• smothers in its own pretensions

  by Stephen Holden [NY Times ]

• Lee's debut is an abyss of crying, screaming hysterics, made no more bearable by the fact that--for all the wrong reasons--it's also hysterical

  by Nick Schager [Slant Magazine ]

• just a particular kind of narrative storytelling (typically in service of, or enslaved to, a massive ensemble cast) where the pretentious reach more often than not exceeds the philosophical grasp

  by Keith Uhlich [The House Next Door ]

• Four interconnected stories about states of mind add up to nothing much in a drama that features lots of name actors and frenetic camerawork

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• A stew of cheap irony, ponderous but meaningless allegory, violence and pretension

  by Carina Chocano [LA Times ]
