Our take

The sophomore feature from Mélanie Laurent, this tale of female friendship and obsessive codependency is a sensitive yet prickly portrait of adolescence. With terrific performances from Josephine Japy and Lou De Lange, Breathe moves with surety from passionate character study to unnerving thriller.
