This adaptation of a popular YA novel from the co-director of "The Secret of Kells" takes a more straightforward approach to the material, but gains a lot of power from it's simple appeal to the viewer's sense of justice. A story that Pavana is telling her younger brother runs through the film, and that utilizes the more ornate animation style of "The Secret of Kells", but most of the animation is executed with a sort of abstract realism.

Such a powerful story makes this beautifully animated film hard to watch, but very worthwhile.

Sure, there's probably something to be said about an Irish studio filming a Canadian novel about life in Afghanistan. But despite some melodrama trappings it's got some brilliant character work, shifting animation styles to make a point, weaving in tons of little details that underscore everyday life under oppression, and giving even the villains enough depth; there are no leaders here, just people trapped to differing degrees kicking down.

A flower that blooms in the desert. Even in a place that could be called a hell on earth, people find strength, resilience and friendship. Such a gentle yet crude depiction of life in the Middle East under the most religiously fanatic regime. Every single person should see this.

I totally get the appeal of telling a realistic story of oppression and sollitude, but this could have been way more powerful as just the fantasy story about the boy and the Elephant King. Cute animation, but formulaic and uneven format.

In a medium too often reduced to being exclusively escapist, The Breadwinner delivers a devastatingly real story in a way that only animation could achieve.

Great looking animation with a potentially powerful story. Perhaps doesn't quite hit its full potential due to later story choices. The way war and violence is pushed to the forefront maybe undermines the potential subtlety of the character interactions. Worth a second look.

Its a very powerful film with a real and terrific story. Animation, musics, side story of Süleyman all was great. Characters are so clear and so powerful. Bu the enging is a bit dragging and lazy... Dİdnt come with a conclusion or end.

It's well animated. More impressive is the feeling of dread the movie manages to impart. You might wonder in the beginning, why movie and the characters constantly surround themselves with fairytales. It'll be clear by the end.

What begins as a vibrant and harsh look at Afghan life for women descends into a harrow and heartbreaking tale highlighting family and the necessity of storytelling. The animation is gorgeous as it is allowed to change and morph as along with the protagonist.

Less than the sum of it's parts. I wanted to see more of Sulayman, because his story hit a lot of the same notes as the studio's previous release, The Secret of Kells - particularly the stylized animation, and the folkloric tone. I also wanted to see more of the story of Parvana, because of the engaging story. Putting the two together, however, just didn't work for me. They didn't really connect in any meaningful way, and the stylistic and tonal shifts were detrimental to immersion.
