Genres & Description

Animation Drama Family War

7.7 / 10

From executive producer Angelina Jolie and the creators of the Academy Award nominated The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, comes the highly-anticipated new feature based on Deborah Ellis' bestselling novel. Parvana is an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom-and danger. With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents, as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family. Equal parts thrilling and enchanting, The Breadwinner is an inspiring and luminously animated tale about the power of stories to sustain hope and carry us through dark times.

It's interesting how something like a burka can be viewed as liberating in one society and a tool of oppression in another. Personally I believe being able to see a persons face allows people to have a human connection and to create a basic understanding of another person. (This is why I dislike talking over the phone and when people wear a lot of make up) But I wouldn't have anyone remove a head covering unless there was a possible threat. - @Saturday, November 24, 2018 12:08 PM

I'm a 31-year-old myself and I rarely watch animated movies. However, this one is exceptional and I've to say it's a very outstanding movie. A beautiful story with mixed emotions filled with happiness and sadness. One of the saddest parts of this movie is when the two former schoolmates - Shauzia and Parvana - departs away and they won't see each other until 20 years time. I was wondering "Will they?" That leaves you to decide whether they will or not. It was released last year, but how I came across was it highlighted briefly on morning TV news some months ago. I thought I may as well give it a go and waited for online release. If you're a type of person who likes the story about friendship and families, I rate this movie. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Additionally, it gave me a better understanding of what is average civilian life like in Afghanistan. I do wish peace will come soon in Afghanistan like it was before 1979 where people once lived a happier life. - @Monday, November 5, 2018 12:20 AM

This movie was pretty good for being based off a book. But if changed so much, mainly they took out Ms.Weera and their little 5 year old Maryam, and changed all of their names beside Shauzia and Parvana. - @Saturday, October 27, 2018 2:19 AM

It could be a great story. But why filled it with so many wrong information about Islam? Most of the people associated to this movie are non Muslim. So how could you know what islam says or actually Muslims are like? Where did you find Muslims forbid their women to go out? Where did you find stranger men beat women because they're out? Do u know Muslims respect d women more dan anyone else do? Writting so many negative false things about islam u would just scare the strangers who actually don't know about d beauty of Islam. Make something great about knowing d truth, not just for fame.. - @Thursday, October 18, 2018 1:19 PM

This definitely deserved a win at the Oscars instead of Coco, but I guess movies that can't get a theatrical release aren't 'popular' enough for Oscars :T I just saw it and it's 10 times better than I expected, and 100 times better than Coco (and I did like Coco) - @Saturday, October 13, 2018 7:38 PM

Can´t you see the arrogance in making a movie that demonizes another culture, and make the people of that culture look horrible? Especially when it is an extremely poor country that the US has been bombing for the past 17 years. It is not simply a story that highlights the struggles of girls and women in other cultures or other times, it is the West sitting on their high horse, looking down at other people, from countries that the West has destroyed politically and finacially. - @Sunday, October 7, 2018 11:53 PM

The Taliban (Pashto: طالبان‬‎ ṭālibān "students") or Taleban, who refer to themselves as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), are a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist political movement in Afghanistan currently waging war (an insurgency, or jihad) within that country. Since 2016, the Taliban's leader is Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada. From 1996 to 2001, the Taliban held power over roughly three quarters of Afghanistan, and enforced there a strict interpretation of Sharia, or Islamic law. The Taliban emerged in 1994 as one of the prominent factions in the Afghan Civil War, and largely consisted of students (talib) from the Pashtun areas of eastern and southern Afghanistan, who had been educated in traditional Islamic schools, and fought during the Soviet–Afghan War. Under the leadership of Mohammed Omar, the movement spread throughout most of Afghanistan, sequestering power from the Mujahideen warlords. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was established in 1996, and the Afghan capital was transferred to Kandahar. It held control of most of the country, until being overthrown after the American-led invasion of Afghanistan in December 2001, following the September 11 attacks. At its peak, formal diplomatic recognition of the Taliban's government was acknowledged by only three nations: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The group later regrouped as an insurgency movement to fight the American-backed Karzai administration and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the War in Afghanistan. The Taliban have been condemned internationally for the harsh enforcement of their interpretation of Islamic Sharia law, which has resulted in the brutal treatment of many Afghans, especially women. During their rule from 1996 to 2001, the Taliban and their allies committed massacres against Afghan civilians, denied UN food supplies to 160,000 starving civilians, and conducted a policy of scorched earth, burning vast areas of fertile land and destroying tens of thousands of homes. According to the United Nations, the Taliban and their allies were responsible for 76% of Afghan civilian casualties in 2010, 80% in 2011, and 80% in 2012. The Taliban has also engaged in cultural genocide, destroying numerous monuments, including the famous 1500-year old Buddhas of Bamiyan. The Taliban's ideology has been described as combining an "innovative" form of sharia Islamic law, based on Deobandi fundamentalism and the militant Islamism and Salafi jihadism of Osama bin Laden, with Pashtun social and cultural norms (known as Pashtunwali), as most Taliban members are Pashtun tribesmen. The Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence and military are widely alleged by the international community and the Afghan government to have provided support to the Taliban during their founding and time in power, and of continuing to support the Taliban during the insurgency. Pakistan states that it dropped all support for the group after the September 11 attacks. In 2001, reportedly 2,500 Arabs under command of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden fought for the Taliban. - @Wednesday, October 3, 2018 4:04 PM

When I see the world around me I realise that religion is now a way for megalomaniacal people to get what they want. So much of every religion is discarded and so much is edited to make it fit the agenda of sociopaths. - @Monday, September 10, 2018 5:15 PM
