Andrew Garfield’s forgotten drama is on TV tonight

BBG News

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the virtual worlds of cinematic masterpieces, I must say that Andrew Garfield’s performance in “Breathe” stands out as one of those unforgettable moments that transcend the boundaries between reality and fiction. Having watched this film multiple times, I can attest to its emotional depth and the powerful story it tells about resilience, love, and the indomitable human spirit.

Currently, Andrew Garfield is receiving a lot of attention as an actor, thanks to the release of his romantic drama “We Live in Time” in the United States.

While eagerly anticipating the release of the movie in the UK on New Year’s Day and the upcoming “Chicken Shop Date” with Amelia Dimoldenberg due out on Friday, now is an ideal moment to recall one of the actor’s lesser-known performances.

Garfield’s 2017 drama Breathe is airing on BBC Two at 11.05pm tonight (October 17).

No need to change your plans for Thursday night, since the movie will be streaming on BBC iPlayer not long after.

The film chronicles the true events surrounding Robin Cavendish’s life, who took up advocacy for disabled individuals following his battle with polio at the age of 28.

Despite being told he had mere months to live and required bed rest, Cavendish managed to leave the hospital soon after diagnosis, thanks to assistance from his wife Diana, her twin brothers, and inventions by Teddy Hall. Remarkably, Cavendish went on to live a lengthy life, dedicating it to aiding fellow patients and individuals with disabilities.

Andie Serkis, an accomplished actor, made his directorial bow with the film Breathe, featuring a stellar ensemble that includes Claire Foy, Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander, Ed Speleers, and Dean-Charles Chapman.

2017 saw the debut of this film, which garnered a variety of opinions from critics, resulting in a Rotten Tomatoes score of 68% based on 168 reviews. However, audiences seemed more favorable, pushing the rating up to 72%.

As a gamer, I found myself deeply moved by the heartfelt performances of Garfield and Foy in this production, with kudos to Serkis for his brilliant direction. However, it seemed like the story leaned heavily on romance, leaving less emphasis on celebrating Cavendish’s extraordinary life and work – something that could have made the game even more immersive.

With “We Live in Time” gaining traction as an awards contender this season, Garfield has already moved on to other ventures, such as Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film titled “After the Hunt“. This drama also features Julia Roberts and Ayo Edebiri from “The Bear”.

Breathe is airing on BBC Two at 11.05pm tonight (October 17).
