I hope they change the official title of this movie from The Breadwinner to something else…or at least add another descriptive word. The Breadwinner is a very poignant and tragic book for which there has also already been a movie or series made of the same name. Not sure how to share this directly with the producers. I LOVE Nate Bargatze’s comedy and would love to see his movie, but it might be better for it to have a unique that doesn’t get confused with a very serious book/movie of the same name.
