It's not an emotional roller coaster, just a steady cruise down in the dumps. If you don't like sad movies then this one definitely isn't for you, because when it gets depressing it stays that way and when you think it's gonna get better it doesn't. I think it's beautiful in a melancholic way because things don't always end well and these things happen so it'd be disingenuous if every movie or story you read suggests otherwise and they live happily ever after. Only thing close to a fault the movie had for me is Julie's character is only explored surface level but I think if she wasn't it might've made the movie a little too upsetting to watch for people affected by or going through something similar.

Good emotional movie with a stellar central performance from Amanda Seyfried. A great supporting cast with turns from Paul Giamatti & Amy Irving this film is only let down by a less than coherent story thread as it bounces between timelines for no apparent reason. Also found it weird that Britt Robertson turns up at the end of the movie in an important but non speaking role. It's very odd and makes me wonder whether they planned to do more with her and changed course at some point in production.

As "A Mouthful of Air" (2021 release; 106 min.) opens, we are introduced to Julie, a young mother who has a beautiful baby boy and an adoring husband. Yet something isn't quite alright as she seems to struggle taking care of the baby. Soon she spins out of control, and she has suicidal thoughts... At this point we are less than 10 min into the movie but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see how it all plays out.

Couple of comments: this film is truly a labor of love from Amy Koppelman, who adapts her novel of the same name into a movie. Koppelman is the movie's writer, producer and director (making her feature length debut). I haven't read the book so I can't comment how closely the film sticks to the book. Watching the film as a standalone, I was gripped from the beginning and it didn't take me long to be emotionally invested in the main characters. The movie benefits tremendously by the lead performance from Amanda Seyfried as Julie, in what is one of her best movie roles to date, period. Amy Irvin is a surprise (in the best possible way) as Julie's mom. Paul Giamatti also is quite good as Julie's doctor. The movie is plot-heavy so I can't really comment on how it all plays out. I will say this: this movie flew by in no time (for me anyway). Last but not least: kudos for the somber piano-fronted original score, courtesy of composer John Gürtler, whom I had not heard of before.

"A Mouthful of Air" was filmed 2 years ago and would've been released in 2020, but for a little thing called COVID-19. The movie finally was released in select theater this weekend, and I couldn't wait to see it. The Saturday early evening screening where I saw this at my art-house theater here in Cincinnati was not attended well: exactly 3 people (including myself). Regardless, if you are in the mood for a heavy-duty postpartum depression family drama featuring a powerful Amanda Seyfried, I'd readily suggest you check this out, be it in the theater (while you still can), on Amazon Instant Video, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray, and draw your own conclusion.

Tough to Find the Intention and Obstacle in this Film but each viewer will take it differently. Smart Move without the Blood. Amanda Seyfried really gets the character and her Facial expressions are priceless. I am impressed with her taking on these Emotional Roles, like (The Art of Racing in the Rain) and (Fathers and Daughters). The pace of Movie maybe an issue with Some but recommend riding it out to the very end. Sticks with you, so I may do some editing to my comments after sleeping on it.

Hard to not like a Amanda Seyfried movie... she wins you over with her eyes. But I didn't care for this one. The subject matter is so important but I don't feel I learned anything new as the subject is being covered a lot. The movie has it's moments but for me... a downer!

This film is about mental health, postpartum depression. I love the way they directed the film. Instead of showing knife or bloody scene, they showed her facial expression to let us feel the pain. Such an emotional movie. Amanda did an amazing job portrait her character.

Theme itself as expected as stated in the beginning of the movie. Similar theme movie or mental illness had been seen so many time but this one totally done a excellent job. Amanda acts so well but just miss a big award, this might not make her winner but she already the best actress in my head. For the storyline, it is not anything dramatic but probably the very truth side of what postpartum depression is. Things look normal from the outside but in depth it's not ok... it's very sad after watching but bring awareness to stay alert of this illness.

It is so hard to write a spoiler free review for this, as you literally just notice the brilliance of this movie, when its in the last 10seconds!

I will say, the fact how it plays with time, anticipation, expectation and delivery, is simply sooo well done, that you probably can see it twice and still appreciate how well done it is.

The fact that Alysia Reiner and Jennifer Carpenter have such big names, but only appear in the movie for a couple of minutes, if even, is completely ok, even though unexpected AND it just shows you how captivating Amanda Seyfried can be in this, best performance of her career by a landslide.

This movie delivers exactly what "C'mon C'mon" failed to do, it engages you fully into the emotional rollercoaster that movie is. Not for the faint hearted, as it for sure is a sensitive topic, but if you do a movie about this so well, you just have to acknowledge it!

Not sure why people here are saying post partum depression because she was always a depressed person from before childbirth, but I guess it makes it more likely Depression is such a silly little umbrella term for so many things humans are succumbed to The film showed that no amount of help would help...it's almost always up to the person to figure their way out of the depths....those depths though can be so enriching for one's own education in life, depression isn't always a negative thing....in fact aware sensitive and intelligent people tend to get it more...they struggle with deep issues and important issues.....cool film though saddish but hopeful which is how the star of the show came across...strong, always striving and ultimately a winner. Just what she produced throughout in inspiring kids books is a gift she gave from her "depression. I'm writing this mid film so don't know the ending but a wonderful film.

I wanted to like this movie. The acting was good, the topic is important. However, not long into the movie, my mother kept saying, "Can it get anymore depressing?" and actually asked to leave. I kept hoping (and assuring her) there would be a glimmer of hope, a turn, a victory, something to encourage those that deal with depression, anxiety, and OCD behaviors. Yet the movie ends hopeless. How is this a responsible message? Yes, the topic needs to be addressed. Yes, not all situations have a happy ending. But I kept thinking through the whole movie, if I dealt with these mental health issues, I would leave feeling completely helpless, the opposite of what those who struggle need to experience. Isn't the point of mental health being addressed recently and at the forefront of much media for people to realize there is help and hope?

"A Mouthful of Air" is a film that expresses a difficult issue. It makes viewers care about the characters and the issue at hand. I think Amanda Seyfried did a very good job.

A Mouthful of Air is a deeply emotional and intimate film that tackles important themes of mental health and motherhood with a quiet but powerful approach. The story unfolds at a slow pace, allowing the weight of the emotions to truly sink in. While it may not be for everyone due to its heavy subject matter, it's a beautifully crafted film that resonates with those willing to engage with its depth.

Amanda Seyfried delivers a stunning performance, capturing the vulnerability and strength of her character with incredible nuance. She is, without a doubt, one of the greatest actresses in the world, and this film is yet another testament to her immense talent. Not only is she a phenomenal performer, but she is also one of the most beautiful women on earth, bringing grace and sincerity to every scene.

While the film's pacing might feel slow at times, and some moments could have been explored in greater depth, the emotional impact it leaves is undeniable. If you appreciate character-driven dramas with strong performances, A Mouthful of Air is definitely worth watching.

Should've been a lifetime movie. This was not big screen material. Boring and had people walking out before it had ended...when it ended I kept thinking this can't be the end. Skip the theaters, watch it on Lifetime or stream. When I go to the movies, I have high expectations to be entertained. Important story line tho.

Back in the 90's. Where postpartum depression was rarely recognized, women who suffered from it often didn't get the help they need. Amanda Seyfried here played as Julie Davis, a woman with childhood trauma and postpartum depression. And even tough her husband was quite supporting, something still need to be face alone by herself in order to make peace with it.

This movie portrait the postpartum depression in a moderate gentle way. Viewers would sympathize with the protagonist and at the same time ask the question about how can we help women with postpartum depression and trauma. Oh, and don't forget to watch Paul Giamatti's refreshing cameo here.

Worth watching 8/10.

Movie was so good that it gets under your skin. After watching the last scene one would be speechless and as the title says one would be left with a mouthful of air (as a metaphor).

Seriously, all actors did a fabulous job especially Amanda and she deserves an Oscar for a role of a mother suffering from anxiety and depression.

This movie cannot be described in words as the movie itself was based on a novel written by the director. It just got to be watched on screen (big/small) to feel the emotions felt by the actors.

Movie has some simple animations depicting the mood of the main protagonist and also has beautiful poetic moments.

Just go and watch it. My rating is 10/10.

This is a topic that has been in so many movies lately and books so it is not breaking any boundaries not already broken BUT it does have some very good acting in it. It's quite sad of course.

Stationary movie. I loved. I watched it at a time when I was trying to decide whether I wanted a second child. Maybe that's why I was impressed. I liked that he described the last scene with just the man's eyes.
