Absolutely the worst movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Have been a lifelong fan of animation for as long as can be remembered, with Disney and Looney Tunes being my earliest exposures. Loved it from an early age, actually love and appreciate it even more now with broader knowledge and taste, encompassing many directors, animation styles and studios of many countries.'The Breadwinner' first came to my attention when it was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, losing out to Pixar's 'Coco' (another amazing film that is slightly preferred by me). Can totally understand the appeal and award attention with it being one of the most deserving nominees in generally one of recent years' better award seasons, 'The Breadwinner' is a stunning and truly accomplished film, so much more than entertainment. It is one of the year's most emotional and unique films and no other film has moved me as much as 'The Breadwinner' did in some time now.For one thing, 'The Breadwinner' looks stunning. Being rich in detail and atmospheric, as well as beautifully drawn. The ambient sound has much authenticity, which thrills and makes one feel they are there in the setting without being intrusive. The writing is genuine and sincere, like the rest of the film, with an unfussy and never dumbed down or preachy approach to facing harsh realities and adversity in a way that feels realistic.Loved the storytelling and really along with the emotion it is 'The Breadwinner's' biggest strengths. It is always captivating, has a lot of emotional impact, made me feel and has something that not many films this year had, soul. It tackles serious and heavy themes that one does not usually see in an animated film and deals with them gently and sincerely yet with full impact. It is intelligent and in some ways educational, and what could have easily been heavy-handed isn't (especially the political element). The characterisation has depth and interest, with a lead character that is instantly relatable due to her spirit, innocence and willpower. The voices also endear and the ending compels. In summary, simply fantastic and a must watch. 10/10 Bethany Cox

It's fine but I think it's more of a 4 or 5.The worst part about this movie is that it doesn't go along with the books well, Almost everyone's name is changed besides Parvana and Shauzia. And the ending wasn't much of an ending, Parvana rescues Father and then they were taking to each other about something and the screen turned black, I thought it was a transition to a different scene but the movie just ended, I was really confused and disappointed.The story thing about seeds is cool but pretty pointless.In conclusion, a 7.7 (at the time of this review) is too much for now mediocre the movie is (Unless you never read the book the movie is based off of).

The point of "A little Princess" in my opinion, is to sustain the idea of childhood innocence as what it should be. Children should be children and enjoy their innocence ... in a perfect world. But Parvana, this Little Princess with all its innocence, is sadly stuck on the real world, and she is forced to take all her courage and all her mental and physical strength to survive the reality that many countries in the Middle East are suffering. It is an animated film that wants to be friendly to small ones and to grown ups, that which presents us with an extremely important message, while at the same time providing us with an excellent cinematographic creation. And yes... this film should have won the Oscar. RAISE YOUR WORDS, NOT YOUR VOICE. IT IS RAIN THAT MAKES THE FLOWERS GROW, NOT THUNDER.
