    This was essentially a short drama about nothing...

    Right, well after this this was a short movie. And the emphasis here in on short. In the 17 minutes that the movie ran for, you are presented with a couple of events in the storyline.

    Sure, the storyline was easy to follow, but given the speed of things and the limited time frame, then everything felt superficial and shallow, and I didn't feel like I had the opportunity to immerse myself into the storyline, nor did I get to know the two characters in the movie either.

    So writers Ming Jin Woo and Edmund Yeo didn't really deliver a wholesome short drama here. I feel that the storyline was lacking components and depths to make me gulp down the storyline and get into it.

    The movie was nicely filmed and edited, that definitely spoke well in favor of the movie, despite it being a mere 17 minutes of footage.

    All in all, then "Inhalation" didn't leave a lasting impression on me, nor did it really manage to entertain me. Sure, I sat through it to the end - no hard feat actually, given its 17 minutes run time. But this was just a swing and a miss from director Edmund Yeo, as it felt pointless and lacked a proper narrative.

    My rating of "Inhalation" lands on a mere three out of ten stars. This is hardly something I will ever sit down to watch again, nor has it given me the drive to seek out the counterpart titled "Exhalation" to watch that.
