Breathless is a pretty near flawless condensation of soap-opera conventions into a delicious little package.
[A] cleverly plotted, visually absorbing tale.
In a summer with so many heavy and dour alternatives (hello, Leftovers), this escapist fluff will be for some just what the doctor ... you know.
Nothing appears to be particularly lived-in, but the look of Breathless is nonetheless breathtaking. That’s very good news for a story that tends to linger on the surface.
The clumsy crosscutting between story lines, soapy score and romance, plus heavy-handed writing make for a clunky, sometimes silly affair.
