LA Weekly Ella Taylor

A rough but boldly imaginative first feature by British-Canadian writer-director Alison Murray.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

Writer-director Alison Murray picks at a hard, true hurt in this zombie melodrama of defloration, but nothing beyond that hurt really comes into focus.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Canadian-born choreographer Alison Murray draws on her own experiences as a 15-year-old runaway living in squats and on the streets, in her feature-filmmaking debut, which is a clear-eyed look at the pleasures and price of abandoning conventional mores for experimental lifestyles.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Filmmaker Alison Murray drew on her own experiences, but Mouth to Mouth would have benefited from more focus and fewer dance sequences.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Like the homeless kids at its center, Alison Murray's feature debut is passionate, angry and suffering from a serious lack of discipline.

Variety Dennis Harvey

Emerges an uneven, occasionally vivid, ultimately unsatisfactory treatment of themes that should've packed more punch.

Village Voice Luke Y. Thompson

Murray's story has the no-holds-barred look and feel of a '70s movie, but her digressions into modern dance are a tad unwelcome.

Los Angeles Times Mark Olsen

As the film progresses, however, Murray becomes less and less sure of where things are heading or what it is she is trying to get at, such that the last few reels feel perfunctory and unengaged.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

A grim little drama about a young woman's experiences with a left-wing cult, Alison Murray's debut feature suffers from disjointed storytelling and myriad other problems, including a bizarre reliance on modern dance sequences to interrupt the action.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

The upbeat ending can't erase the lingering aura of being trapped in an insane asylum with the Manson family.

Yohan the better one gave it a10:
Genius idea for a movie. Proud of ellen page for taking this role and making gold. Everything's great.

Melissa rod gave it a10:
Just really good. Didn't expect to love thus movie but it really surprised me. Peppers are stupid though.

tike Jonah gave it a10:
My god this is great. Great is a word not even worthy of gracing this movie. Its absolutely superb.

yes its my shirt gave it a10:
Appalling in the way that it is insanely well acted by ellen page. Much much much much much better than the curious case if Benjamin button which I watched in the same night. Good effects, horribly copied Forrest gump, and really boring but mouth to mouth is great all around.

Chad S. gave it a7:
When Harry(Eric Thal) takes away Sherry's innocence, she has half of her feminine wiles; a half-shaved head, but the older man is lured into temptation nevertheless by her nubile mystique. In cases of sexual misconduct, a man will blame the woman for turning him on. Sherry's partly-bald pate neutralizes this wrongful claim because sex is often more about power than desire. It doesn't matter if Sherry(Ellen Page) has beautiful hair or not. Harry wants to own her. "Mouth to Mouth" is more avant-garde(modern dance replaces dialogue in some instances) than your average run-of-the-mill indie. "Mouth to Mouth" gets interesting when it dawns on the viewer that this neo-collective of free-spirits is actually a cult.
