Full Plot Details

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.

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn animated feature about a young girl who defies the Taliban in Afghanistan through her courage and storytelling.
Time Out - 10/10 by Phil de SemlyenDirector Nora Twomey’s film is about the ways we try to cradle each other from the harsher realities of life. This is a day-to-day survival story that stirs the heart and fires the imagination.
The Skinny - 10/10 by Ross McIndoeSome characters' stories end happily, many sadly, some we don't know yet. All of them are beautifully told.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranA work of striking beauty and affecting emotional heft enhanced by an Afghan-themed score by Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna, The Breadwinner reminds us yet again that the best of animation takes us anywhere at any time and makes us believe.
The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Sheri LindenNot unlike her gutsy protagonist, Twomey moves through the charged landscape with extraordinary agility. Combining gripping suspense with a quote from the immortal Persian poet Rumi, she creates a stirring final sequence from the rising chords of terror and resilience.
Observer (UK) - 10/10 by Mark KermodeAlong 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.
Time Out - 10/10 by Philip De SemlyenThis is a day-to-day survival story that stirs the heart and fires the imagination.
Metro (UK) - 10/10 by Larushka Ivan-ZadehThe story-within-a-story device doesn't work, but it's still the most thoughtful, sensitively realised, beautifully drawn and affecting animation about children in wartime since Grave Of The Fireflies.
RTÉ (Ireland) - 10/10 by Laura DelaneyThe Breadwinner has all of the right ingredients to be examined in depth by schools in Ireland, and hopefully, one day, by every child around the world.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Bruce DemaraThe 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.
