Breathe In
We live a very different story. It tells a different kind of drama about a man named Keith Reynolds, a high school music teacher married to Megan who lives in a small town near New York City. There may be many surprises Keith experiences in his life, as he abandoned his career as a musician after the arrival of their daughter Lauren. Soon after, Sophie's family is hosting Sophie for a semester and she may have a surprise with her that may change things and events. Sophie reveals her talent for Keith, who appears to be a brilliant musician and co-exist with Keith in a new romantic way. The story is quite different, as Keith and Sophie start a love relationship and spend their time talking about running away together to try a new love experience for both of them.

Buoyed by some nicely nuanced performances (especially by Pearce and Amy Ryan as his dream-dashing wife), Breathe In never quite rises above its predictable potboiler premise.

The film needs more help than it gets from the script, which turns on facile coincidence and dwindles in originality as it moves toward its climax.

A breathy tale of a not-quite love affair, Drake Doremus' "Breathe In" is yet another skillfully acted indie drama that's never quite good enough to be memorable.
