Film Review – Last Breath (2025)

In 2019, “Last Breath” was a British documentary about an undersea disaster involving saturation divers conducting business in the North Sea. The feature received positive reviews and decent viewership, but co-director Alex Parkinson wasn’t quite done with the tale of search and rescue. The helmer returns with “Last Breath,” which offers a dramatization of the crisis, trading genuine footage and communication for a more cinematic understanding of the stakes and the players in this urgent situation. It’s a little strange to revive the tale again, but it’s quite an experience to relive, and Parkinson (who co-scripts with David Brooks and Mitchell LaFortune) does an excellent job restoring suspense and emotionality to the emergency, and he has a diverse cast of actors to help bring such tension to life, offering passionate performances for a well-done movie.
