    Sarah Michelle Gellar's best dramatic performance yet.

    by sarahbuffyfan

    Similar to Traffic and Crash in that all the stories eventually connect, The Air I Breathe is a compelling drama that should not be missed. It has an amazing cast and a moving story. Sarah Michelle Gellar is amazing as Sorrow. She is an excellent dramatic actress and should have more roles like this that showcase her talents!
