Review by matthewssilverhammer

As you may expect from the people behind Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, this is an undeniably gorgeous animated film that stands out in the CGI-soaked modern landscape. It's also a quite important story worth telling...unfortunately, it's just never that fully engaging. While the emotions and drama are strong, the beats are fairly basic. Breadwinner is a passable character study that just never comes close to the heights of its other fantasy-realism brethren.
