Misuse. I just checked the scene; she doesn't take any kind of deep breath. She grits her teeth and balls her fists. She's also the temperamental character of the group; there's nothing calm about her, so she doesn't classify as Not So Stoic. It's also Surprisingly Realistic Outcome misuse.

* Played with in ''Film/{{Midsommar}}''. Deep breathing appears to be part of the Harga language, which they use especially when stressed. It also proves very cathartic to Dani, but it isn't clear if this is it's intended purpose, and Dani constantly struggles to maintain a stoic face.

Just before or after doing something extremely risky and difficult, the seemingly calm and {{stoic}} character suddenly pauses and takes a few deliberate, audible breaths before proceeding. What happened is that in-universe, the character used hyperventilation to relax tense muscles and improve their performance. Out-of-universe, the writer used a simple shorthand to demonstrate how stressed and NotSoStoic that character is (or was, if it happens afterwards) [[ShowDontTell without telling it explicitly]].
