neutral · AI labelView post →The Breadwinner was a kind of weird movie
negative · AI labelView post →The Breadwinner, currently the #3 movie on all of Netflix, contains some of the most egregious product placement I have ever seen in my life. There are actual commercials with less advertising in them than this movie.
negative · AI labelView post →This is fucking me up because there's an actually good movie called The Breadwinner from 2017 based on a book by the same name. It's about an Afghan girl who's forced to pose as a man and provide for her family after the Taliban abduct her father. It's like, basically, the opposite of this
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm in Boston. First time in 30 years Raining. Super windy. Pretty cold. So we take refuge in a movie theater We choose: "The Breadwinner" Two mistakes here: 1. Paying to see it 2. A fucking meteor smashes offshore creating a sonic boom heard across STATES and I miss it for THE BREADWINNER!?!?
negative · AI labelView post →anyone else think it's amusing that a movie called The Breadwinner lost a bunch of money?
neutral · AI labelView post →You know, rather than talk about a bad comedy called The Breadwinner, how about I recommend the animated film of the same name by Cartoon Saloon that's actually a good movie? youtu.be/SnpBc8YvGpk?...
neutral · AI labelView post →THE BREADWINNER has more stale corny bits than a Kellogg's factory dumpster. My review of a film whose very existence in 2026 is a dead canary in our cultural coal mine, is at @thewrap.com!
negative · AI labelView post →Nate Bargatze on Taylor Swift allowing them to use “Opalite” in his movie, “The Breadwinner”: “Beyond grateful moments for that to happen, for her to help a fellow Nashvillean is a very sweet nice thing”
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲 #filmsky The Breadwinner-2.5 stars-I prefer competent characters. Creepshow 2-2.5 stars-Not nearly as good as the 1st. Who Framed Roger Rabbit-5 stars-I love this movie so much. Cloud-3.5 stars-I had no idea what to expect with this.
negative · AI labelView post →Gee, I wonder why a movie like this is struggling: "The Breadwinner (2026) A supermom lands a Shark Tank deal, switching roles with her breadwinner husband. He struggles to adapt as a stay-at-home dad to their three daughters."
neutral · AI labelView post →Worst part about a bad comedy called The Breadwinner? Now I have to tell people when I say I like the movie The Breadwinner, I have to specify it's about the animated film by Cartoon Saloon and that will get annoying fast and the good film has to share the title with the shit film.
negative · AI labelView post →Watched The Breadwinner, an animated movie set in Afghanistan just before the war. A father is arrested for annoying a Taliban enforcer, and without a man of the house, his wife and daughters are forced to starve because they can't legally buy food. All that isn't a side-effect. It's the point.
positive · AI labelView post →Taylor Swift’s “Opalite” will be featured in the movie “The Breadwinner” written by and starring comedian Nate Bargatze. It is set to hit theaters on May 29. “A supermom lands a Shark Tank deal, switching roles with her breadwinner husband. He struggles to adapt as a stay-at-home dad.”
neutral · AI labelView post →And then, slightly more recently, there's an "Art of The Breadwinner book", a film I worked on a while back. I also worked on putting the book together and then ended up doing the cover for it.
positive · AI labelView post →When I first saw the trailer I thought: "THAT'S the premise of this movie? 'Mom gets a gig outside the house so dopey Dad's in charge? We're really doing this in 2026?? Really???" The Breadwinner looks like something you'd see being sold for $4 in the bargain bin at Walmart.
negative · AI labelView post →“Opalite" by Taylor Swift is featured in “The Breadwinner” movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →I was on a plane recently and the person next to me was watching The Breadwinner. Every time I looked over, I thought he was watching a commercial - but it was just the movie: laundry detergent commercial, Toyota commercial, KFC commercial.
negative · AI labelView post →I was reminded of the movie The Breadwinner and it makes me glad that this kind of “lol dads can’t do laundry or cook” gag is outdated and people don’t think it’s funny anymore. It makes me glad I’d probably be a better dad and I never even took home economics as some schools have.
negative · AI labelView post →Besides that, it's taken over as the top search result for "The Breadwinner" instead of the Cartoon Saloon film. Like, I don't care about your shitty conservative comedy, I would like to look at one of my favorite animated films of all time, please.
negative · AI labelView post →He's very Cromwellian. They never explicitly name him in the movie but "Lord Protector" ... It's not subtle. I love all Cartoon Saloon. Secret of Kells Song of the Sea The Breadwinner They even have a short in Star Wars Visions!
neutral · AI labelView post →The scariest animated movie of the 21st. Century? The Breadwinner (Cartoon Saloon). It’s frightening on multiple levels. We could use more movies like it.
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching THE BREADWINNER (2017). Director: Nora Twomey. Saara Chaudry, Louis Garrel. When the Taliban captures her father, young Afghan girl must figure out how to continue providing for her family....even if it means posing as a boy. Oscar nominee for Animated Feature. #filmsky 📽🎥🎬🎞
neutral · AI labelView post →All this for a card that UFC fans think is pretty mediocre. It’d be like if they built a drive-in movie theater on the White House lawn and showed a double feature of Scary Movie and The Breadwinner
neutral · AI labelView post →Instead of THE BREADWINNER they should've made a movie about the two weeks my dad looked after me alone and would sneak into my room every night to see if I was awake enough to watch "Love Connection" with him.

negative · AI labelView post →The Breadwinner. Such a good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →14. The Breadwinner (Twomey, 2017). Everyone has their favourite Cartoon Saloon movie. For some, it's Secret of Kells. For others, Wolfwalkers. For me? Breadwinner. Without a doubt in my mind. It's a beautiful adaptation of the novel.
positive · AI labelView post →I think “spend nothing” is behind stuff like The Breadwinner, trying to cut costs by centering someone recognizable but not as expensive as A Film Comedy Star.
neutral · AI labelView post →all the movies previewed at AMC literally look like they were written by stroke victims with dementia, The Breadwinner is not a real fucking movie, shut up
neutral · AI labelView post →Ratings are in! This week, the new MPA ratings include the Nate Bargatze comedy THE BREADWINNER, the A24 horror film UNDERTONE, and the Sofia Coppola documentary MARC BY SOFIA. Here’s the full breakdown: whentostream.com/weekly-mpa-r...

neutral · AI labelView post →Recommending a full year of my favourite animated films, day 72 of 365*. Today is my 268th favourite animated film, The Breadwinner. A serious political film that hints at violence but never shows it. For older mature kids that can discuss serious issues...

neutral · AI labelView post →I'd say The Breadwinner. It's a drama film from Irish animation masters @cartoonsaloon.bsky.social and director Nora Twomey about an 11-year-old girl in Afghanistan who dresses as a boy to provide for her family and save her dad after his wrongful arrest. Heartbreaking and stunning work. Love ya CS!

neutral · AI labelView post →Out of morbid curiosity, and because it was easy to access on Netflix, checked out THE BREADWINNER over the weekend and, woof, this product-placement fest is the worst-thing a comedy can be…boring. Made it less than 20 minutes (and 17 blatant, in-movie ads) before bailing.
negative · AI labelView post →I didn't recognize the name, so I looked him up; the movie, which he wrote and starred in, was "The Breadwinner", this site had a fun day or two expressing horror at the trailer: a father of teenagers unexpectedly has to manage the household while his wife is away, he has no clue and is incompetent.

neutral · AI labelView post →Or The Breadwinner is apparently not that good. I doubt that friggin' movie is gonna be considered a cult classic years later.
negative · AI labelView post →Instead of watching this “The Breadwinner,” I recommend people to watch the other one from 2017. It’s a beautiful animated film where an Afghan girl becomes the breadwinner of her family after her father was abducted by the Taliban. This deserves your attention more than the unfunny one joke movie.
positive · AI labelView post →My cornfed Midwest five-screener which is all-in on anything family-friendly is straight-up dropping it Friday, while keeping The Breadwinner, Pressure, and Backrooms and adding Masters of the Universe and Scary Movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Respectfully, THE BREADWINNER as a film is conceptually repulsive.
negative · AI labelView post →The Breadwinner ⭐️⭐️ "Harmless, if also clueless. The movie is like a Junior High School community play remake of Mr. Mom but nobody had actually seen Mr. Mom so they just took a guess."
negative · AI labelView post →Wait, I read that this was coming out and thought that they had finally made a movie of the 2001 children’s novel The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis about an Afghani girl who disguises herself as a boy to support her family. Wow im disappointed 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →son liked the Mario Galaxy movie but there was a trailer that irritated me for a movie called the Breadwinner where dumbass dad can’t do the parenting or the housework when the mom has to work lol! speaking as a dad who does the vast majority of both, did this script time travel from 1995

neutral · AI labelView post →Wondrous film, never once knew where it was heading. Third act gets so heavy so fast. Unfortunately I won't be watching the Breadwinner anytime soon, it's lost in the mail.
positive · AI labelView post →nw The Breadwinner. oddly quiet, stilted movie. no comic timing and no energy. like was this guy gonna die if he didn't make a movie

neutral · AI labelView post →Don’t watch The Breadwinner (don’t worry, nobody is anyway), watch Mr. Mom instead, which is a funny movie that made Michael Keaton a star.
