    The Rat Catcher

    ★★★½

    The word rat came out of his mouth with a rich fruity sound as if he was gargling with melted butter.

    Catching rats. What was once this man’s job has shifted to a literal way of life, molding his body, way of thinking and mannerisms through time to better frame what has then become his purpose.

    Through its refreshing 2D animation style, The Breadwinner takes us on an emotional and striking journey through a story we wish was only fiction.

    I'm beyond words. The Breadwinner is harsh, violent and, most of all, real. It doesn't lie about what happens, it doesn't disguise the disrespect towards women or the lack of human rights that, unfortunately, haunts today's landscape and that is…
