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.
