My two favorite topics of all time are cults and homeless teen runaways. I've written several stories combining the two. Other than Jimmy and Judy (2006), which sells its characters more as fugitives than homeless, I have never seen these two... Full review

What can I say about this? Nothing about it is inherently bad (well okay, most of the acting is, but aside from that very obvious fact); it's mostly just a very plodding even boring film of often silly, predictable nothingness.... Full review

Directly preceding "Hard Candy", the film that made her name, "Mouth to Mouth" is Ellen Page's break-out movie and it's easy to see why. Her performance as Sherry, a lost young girl in Eastern Europe finding sanctuary with a group... Full review

It's refreshing to see new talent, and the story was actually compelling. The fact that the adults in this story are more flawed than the children sends a complex truthful message, and I was pleased to see this story unfold because... Full review

Based on director Murray's true experiences, "Mouth to Mouth" is a gritty, original, and visceral film about a cult's romantic hold on a vulnerable girl....gave one hell of a performance in one of the best films in the last six years.....Mouth to Mouth" is a much more raw display of the talent she's capable of than "Hard Candy," which is saying a lot, considering I loved "Hard Candy.....Page has got it, she has talent, grace, looks.... ...

The upbeat ending can't erase the lingering aura of being trapped in an insane asylum with the Manson family.
When Sherry's mother, Rose (Natasha Wightman), arrives to fetch her, she becomes an enthusiastic cult member, much to her daughter's chagrin.

Mouth To Mouth is a well-made movie without quite enough story to it.....In this tale of disaffected youth and the cult they join, Page stars as Sherry, a kid wandering around Europe on her own.....BOTTOM LINE The cult becomes the most important character in this otherwise well-made Canadian film about a charismatic group leader and his followers..... ...
