Rule Breakers is a true story told in a very engaging and heartfelt manner. The story focuses on a group of Afghani women and girls (and their families) as they challenge the attitudes, traditions, and culture that surround them by learning to write code, make robots, and compete as a team in prestigious, international competitions. The film does an excellent job of developing the characters of the team members and the woman, Roya Mahboob, who was visionary behind the team. While are some suspenseful moments, as you might expect with a bunch of rule breakers, the film chooses not to dwell on these incidents. Rather, it deftly focuses on how the team defied expectations, overcame serious technical challenges, managed needless bureaucratic delays, won over the international media, and won hearts and minds among their competition. In addition to presenting an engaging story with top-notch production values, the performances from the entire cast are superb. I was deeply moved by this film and am already look forward to seeing it again!

Go and see this movie. It's insightful to know that we still live in a world where women are suppressed, but reminds all of us that do have freedoms that our freedoms were not easily won. Freedom requires a price and these girls from Afghanistan are a reminder of this fact. Today the Taliban now, once again, suppress the education of women in their country.

I would have loved it if they had included some small biographical info at the end of the movie about each of the women. They did do this for the organizer of the team,

The movie does start out a little slow. But picks up and you began to understand the risks they take and the courage required to pursue their dream.

I had not heard a single thing about this movie but saw it was playing. I watched the trailer and it looked pretty good. I never expected it to be as amazing as it was! This story deserved to be told, and it connects people to Afghanistan in a totally different way than most are used to. I feel it's a must see, for the whole family. My heart hurts for the way they have lived for so long, even worse since 2021. Those children, women, people, deserve so much better! We can always be blessed that great minds can connect the entire world in a way that most people can never connect too. Thanks for making this movie, ill be suggesting it to everyone I talk too!

Watched at AMC on 3-8-2025 with Nicole.

A true story told in a fashion that moved me in ways that I haven't encountered in some time. We saw both the young women's struggles and successes. I was both impressed by the women's courage and yet saddened that they had to even face the cultural restrictions for women in Afghanistan.

Angel Studios shows that they know what they are doing as they continue to create compelling movies that educate, inspire and entertain.

Definitely a movie worth seeing for young and old, both for it's content as well as to support Angel Studios. Definitely go get your tickets while it's still in the theaters and enjoy the show.

This is the very inspiring story of an Afghan woman who faced unbelievable obstacles. In a war-torn country that devalues women, she showed the world that determination and chutzpah can work miracles.

The acting was incredible and the story flowed well. I was immediately pulled into her world. I celebrated each small triumph with her, and cried alongside her with each setback. I was reluctant to see the end of the film. I wanted more of the story!

The scenery is gorgeous. I particularly enjoyed seeing the sites along the way. I would have liked seeing more of the p places she went.

Overall, this is a strong story, and one I will not soon forget.
