Everyone praising the The Breadwinner performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: The Breadwinner's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched The Breadwinner last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Breadwinner actually is?

Look, I wanted to love The Breadwinner. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
