Alicia I love this movie so much

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

masonfisk Taking its cue from more serious minded animes like Graveyard of the Fireflies, The Breadwinner is a sobering take on religious intolerance as seen through a young girl trying to free her incarcerated father as well as provide for her family in a province dominated by Taliban rule. Giving a face to a calamity that's quite possibly happening right now & using the canvas of an animated feature to process this complicated meal, one gleans the perils Islamic followers are going through when fascism rules the day. A nice double feature would be the indie live action Osama, released about a decade ago, which like Breadwinner encapsulates a world most Westerners have no idea about.

marianajb I was truly amazed with this film, I really enjoy those movie that are able to produce certain emotions in me. The story is great and also the characters in it are very empowering. The way it tells the story is awesome, because they had the ability to step out, they were original and creative, using so much colors and different animation. In motion pictures what matters is not if it is an entertaining story full of action or drama, but how the plot is told regarding of its theme. The two combination of the animation present in this film and all the magical and non-magical parts in it, is extraordinary, at least for me. They not only try to show a little of reality of this culture but also a little of fantasy and art present everywhere, regardless of its culture. Breadwinner is really worth your time. 8.8

meena_mahy It's heartbreaking and a reminder what our sisters are going through... hard to watch... this cartoon version of reality.. I pray the tears shed are not in vain, I pray God serves them justice.

Ali Ahmad That was wonderful. Best animated film. The last minutes were really intense.
