The wrong film in the wrong hands
Jun 19, 2008
Lucy Lou - imdb.com
This film is based on an interesting idea which in the right hands could have been a wonderful film. Its an indie film, of course it is, but I have seen a good few indie films and this really hits... Full review
Hippie style after school special

Steven helton - imdb.com
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
Good performance from Page in a so-so film

Alain English - imdb.com
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

Rich subject matter, nothing H'wood would touch!

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

Portrait of a Cult

MovieBuff1414 - imdb.com
When I first saw the preview for this film, it looked like a trippy indie film with a great soundtrack. I decided to give it a chance and bought it. It just came in today and I have to say,... Full review
Ellen Page is Wonderful!

I have to say that Ellen Page is a wonderful actress that is going to go far. She takes on roles that most people her age wouldn't do. The acting in the this movie about a radical cult group was real... Full review

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie V
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. ... Full Review

Jam! Movies
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..... ...

you want to like it.....But, try as you might, writer-director-dance choreographer Alison Murray's youth cautionary tale will likely leave you frustrated, and exhausted by the effort.....Barry Stone's cinematography, often hand-held and grungy, beautifully captures the freewheeling essence of youth..... ...

No actress has expressed the harrowing angst of contemporary girlhood with as much depth and honesty as Ellen Page. From the devious avenger of "Hard Candy" to the clueless runaway of "Mouth to Mouth," she attacks her roles with intellectual... ... Full Article

Following a series of award-winning short films, writer and director Alison Murray's feature debut, "Mouth to Mouth," starts off solidly enough as the story of a teenage girl, Sherry (Ellen Page), who falls in with a cultish underground collective while... ... Full Article

A portrait of the euphoria and grave consequences of an irresponsible, willfully indoctrinated life, Murray's film moves along with dirt-under-fingernails authenticity but with a dearth of restraint, its initial scenes of Harry and right-hand stooge Tiger (August Diehl) preaching empowerment... ...

It's not every low budget import that holds the same level of advance excitement for me that something like "M:i:III" does, but that's how anxious I was to see Ellen Page again after "Hard Candy." ... Full Article
