Ranking May 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

by Jack Pooley

1. The Breadwinner

The Breadwinner
Universal

RottenTomatoes Score: 95% (7.9/10)

Box Office: The $10 million Oscar-nominated animation has cracked just $400,000 theatrically, but awards buzz and universal acclaim will likely make it a solid performer on VOD.

Verdict: An extraordinarily mature animated film that doesn't sacrifice gorgeous visuals or entertainment value for its desire to educate, The Breadwinner is a charming, affecting tale of a young girl and her family living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan.

Another breathtaking winner from Irish animation house Cartoon Saloon (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea), this is a great movie to teach kids about another culture and also bolster the importance of female agency.
