PodBill Just what I expected

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

namashi_1 Well-Intended & Rich in Animation, 'The Breadwinner' is an honest film, whose victory lies in its disturbing truth. This is an important film on disparity & courage, that deserves a watch.'The Breadwinner' Synopsis: In 2001, Afghanistan is under the control of the Taliban. When her father is captured, a determined young girl disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family.Despite its uneven Writing, that goes jumps from being excellent to becoming monotonous, the sole strength of 'The Breadwinner' lies in its honesty, which is unquestionable. Kudos to Director Nora Twomey for churning out a film that shows whats life beyond our borders & how gender roles are still played upon, particularly on women. A special mention for all the vocal-performances by its actors. Their work here is very strong!On the whole, 'The Breadwinner' isn't perfect, but so isn't life, right?

sergelamarche This is not the first time a girl passes as a boy, even in this story in fact! The animation is beautiful, well done and colorful. It is depicting sexism at the governing level and obviously not supported by all. A bit anti-taliban but not too antiwar, it would be interesting to see a similar story happening during the english occupation.

idreesqbal Damn it made me cry , so power story. to be honest it is true, it actually happened to alots of womens who were living in those day in Afghanistan !! Don't miss it . it deserve every single watch !!!

amyramoon This animated film takes us through the daily life of a young girl named Parvana who lives modestly with her family in Afghanistan during the war. They live in poverty in a small one-roomed enclosure in a dystopian society of the recent past, under constant fear of persecution and abuse. After her father is arrested, Parvana must disguise herself as a boy to provide for her family: mother, sister, and baby brother, who are unable to go out alone to buy food without being accompanied by a man. Throughout, there is an ongoing oral story going on, told by Parvana in parallel, which accompanies in an abstract way the trials she and her family face as the climax approaches. The artwork is beautiful and the scenes are heartfelt and considerate of the character's emotions, so we really form a connection with each of them. There are scenes that are hard to watch, violent, heart wrenching, and devastating, but this is a movie meant to be shared and experienced by as many as possible.
