An Honest Yet Imperfect Film!
26 July 2018
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?
