      Observer

      Soberly and responsibly, a small but significant film called Inhale, starring the underrated, charismatic and terrifically accomplished Dermot Mulroney, has arrived without fanfare or big-budget ad campaigns to capture some well-deserved attention.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      The final act hits like a gut-punch. Worst fears are confirmed, and the protagonist faces a moral dilemma no father should have to confront. Kormakur and his writers give their protagonist no easy way out.

      Los Angeles Times

      It takes a while to get there, but Inhale eventually emerges as a tense and morally complex thriller with a devastating twist.

      Movieline

      Like the recent and only slightly less fantastical "Never Let Me Go," Inhale manages little more than a gesture toward untying its bundled moral knots.

      Variety

      Icelandic helmer Baltasar Kormakur ("101 Reykjavik," "Jar City") injects notes of hysteria into the script's frenetic pileup of gratuitous cliches, as Dermot Mulroney pushes his square-jawed, desperate hero to near-masochistic extremes.

      Wall Street Journal

      You keep rooting for the child to get a new pair of lungs, but all of the beatings, betrayals and bitter ironies leave a bad taste in your head.

      The New York Times

      Inhale is a creepy medical thriller in the tradition of "Coma" that amps up the tension and suspense by slicing up time.

      The A.V. Club

      It's neither remotely convincing as true-to-life drama or lurid and propulsive enough to work as exploitation. It's just bad.
