Regardless of the wisdom it tries to impart, no one here (save Forte) seems to be working very hard.

It’s as flat, simple, and static as possible. That the film is filled with an overwhelming amount of product placement makes it feel only more uncinematic. In the end, Bargatze’s big-screen experiment is doomed by its desire to be extremely ordinary.

Silly, sincere and safe for the entire family, The Breadwinner is Mr. Mom for the smartphone generation.

Everything about the film feels stale and dated.
