Reception
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 68% of 31 critics have given the film a positive review, with an average rating of 6.2/10.[5] The website's critics consensus reads, "A Mouthful of Air isn't as emotionally impactful as it might have been, but Amanda Seyfried's devastating performance lends the story weight."[5] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100 based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[6]
David Ehrlich of IndieWire critiqued the film's use of melodrama, but praised Seyfried's performance, writing she "sidesteps histrionics in favor of something more honest and upsetting" and "leads every scene with such an excitable degree of fear and fragility".[7] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian was more critical, writing the film "needed less sensitive good taste and more explicit storytelling passion."[8] Natalia Winkelman of The New York Times wrote "the movie’s portrait of depression often feels as facile as its opening image: Julie’s wide blue eyes with a single tear trailing down her cheek."[9]
