Reviews
‘Breathless’ has garnered a mix of responses from critics since its release in 2024. With a current IMDb rating of 6.5/10, it’s clear that while the series has its fanbase, it also faces its share of critiques. The Guardian praised the show's ‘visually arresting cinematography,’ calling it a ‘breath of fresh air in the genre of coming-of-age dramas.’ However, others have pointed out pacing issues, with Collider stating, ‘While the character of Alex is compelling, the narrative sometimes lunges forward without enough development, making some emotional beats feel earned.’ Rotten Tomatoes showcases a spectrum of viewer opinions, as audiences have shown mixed enthusiasm, giving it a 65% approval rating. Some fans have lauded Manu Ríos for delivering ‘a heartwrenching performance’ that elevates the material, while other platforms, such as Metacritic, note a criticism of repetitiveness in plotlines. Ultimately, ‘Breathless’ stands as an ambitious attempt to capture the essence of youth, though not without its flaws that leave viewers debating its execution.
