Review of The Breadwinner (2017) by Brunovn00 — 31 Mar 2019

The Breadwinner is a good movie with a subject matter not commonly found in animated movies nowadays about an Afghanan girl forced to dress like a boy in order to rescue her father who was arrested in an unfair manner. This is obviously not aimed towards children and that's a good thing because they can have some dark moments without thinking that "it would be innappropriate for children".

The Good:

-The animation looks nice. This movie shows that 2D animation still has potential even in a CGI era of animation.

-The dark subject matter this movie is about.

-The dialogue was good for the most part.

The Bad:

-Maybe the fact that it gets a little repetitive during the second act and the ending is pretty predictable. Obviously it's still satisfying but after reading the premise before watching it I pretty much predicted the ending, and I was right.

-I think some characters are underused. By that I mean that they could be a lot better developed if only they had more screen time and things to do.

-The character design looked a little lighthearted for the tone this movie had, but I understand that's the art style from Cartoon Saloon.

These are just little nitpicks I have and doesn't ruin the experience nor it changes my mind on this movie. It's not a terrible movie, it's not a bad movie, it's not an average movie and it's not a masterpiece either, it's a good movie that I actually enjoyed and I recommend it.
