Critic Reviews of "The Breadwinner"
Chicago ReaderJanuary 26, 2018Children must grow up fast under such circumstances, and The Breadwinner derives its lasting sense of tragedy from its consideration of how they've been stripped of their childhood. There's a sad undercurrent to Parvana's fairy tale.
Minneapolis Star TribuneNovember 30, 2017Distressing as it is, the film draws you into the characters' lives.
Arizona RepublicNovember 30, 2017The animation is expressive, as lush and detailed as tapestry. Harsh landscapes shimmer with beauty, even when littered with the bones of landmines and abandoned tanks.
San Francisco ChronicleNovember 29, 2017The film is honest enough not to exaggerate the beneficial results of Parvana's courageous act.
Village VoiceNovember 29, 2017On the heels of Ann Marie Fleming's joyful animated indie Window Horses comes Nora Twomey's thematically similar but far darker The Breadwinner.
Toronto StarNovember 24, 2017The Breadwinner is a well-crafted and inspiring story with an important message about female empowerment, embodied in heroic Parvana, something people of all ages should embrace.
Birth.Movies.Death.February 16, 2018Harkening from Cartoon Saloon's earlier pursuits, Breadwinner continues the classic motif about the connective powers of storytelling.
Winnipeg Free PressFebruary 09, 2018In particular, the film celebrates the stories we tell ourselves and each other - the stories that educate, encourage and inspire.
The National (UAE)January 25, 2018The biggest criticism of The Breadwinner for me is not one of the film itself, which is undoubtedly a triumph of storytelling, but simply that I'm not sure exactly who it intends to tell the story to.
Pittsburgh City PaperJanuary 17, 2018These excursions are exhilarating for their freedom, but also fraught with danger.
The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)December 28, 2017Parvana copes by telling fables of wild animals and quests-these sections are dense and vivid, paper cutouts on layered backgrounds, providing cathartic levity in a very serious movie.
New England Movies WeeklyDecember 28, 2017A dance between exhilarating escapades and unthinkable brutality, which though largely confined to offscreen spaces nonetheless lurks over the movie like a dark cloud.
