“The Breadwinner 's stunning visuals are matched by a story that dares to confront sobering real-life issues with uncommon -- and richly rewarding -- honesty.”

A fantastical myth, woven through the propulsive main story, serves as a distraction to the characters in their most distressed moments. Story as lesson. Story as history. Also, story as entertainment. Story as escape.

Along with the eerie beauty of the animation there is a salving streak of humour that softens this tale's sharper edges, reminding us that - for children - laughter and bravery walk hand in hand.

This beautiful and continually surprising film makes us think about what children can and can't bear.

The Breadwinner is a beautifully-constructed yet grueling story of female bravery that feels both timeless and timely.
