This is the very inspiring story of an Afghan woman who faced unbelievable obstacles. In a war-torn country that devalues women, she showed the world that determination and chutzpah can work miracles.
The acting was incredible and the story flowed well. I was immediately pulled into her world. I celebrated each small triumph with her, and cried alongside her with each setback. I was reluctant to see the end of the film. I wanted more of the story!
The scenery is gorgeous. I particularly enjoyed seeing the sites along the way. I would have liked seeing more of the p places she went.
Overall, this is a strong story, and one I will not soon forget.

This movie brings understanding to the world of what even in this modern age how women in beautiful Afghanistan are kept from personal success and their happiness is denied by male role. The casting is excellent, and the world competitions are brilliantly covered. I loved seeing the robotics competitions, and all the nations coming together to participate and support each other united in the love of robotics. The quality of the film is very good, the acting is honest and real, emotionally relevant and the subject is so important. This is a story that needed to be shared, such a wonderful film.
A good movie about an inspiring true story. The oppression, challenges and attacks from the Taliban that were endured and overcome by this Afghanistan girls robotics team is inspiring. This brought to life the difficult reality of life in counties like Afghanistan which we see in only snippets on the news. It's amazing that in this day and age women continue to be marginalized by cowardice sects. The fact that they received the major award so recently in 2021 while still being oppressed makes this movie timely. Very good acting and overall production. This is another Angel Studios movie amplifying light in the world!
A true story told in a fashion that moved me in ways that I haven't encountered in some time. We saw both the young women's struggles and successes. I was both impressed by the women's courage and yet saddened that they had to even face the cultural restrictions for women in Afghanistan.
Angel Studios shows that they know what they are doing as they continue to create compelling movies that educate, inspire and entertain.
Definitely a movie worth seeing for young and old, both for it's content as well as to support Angel Studios. Definitely go get your tickets while it's still in the theaters and enjoy the show.

I really enjoyed Rule Breakers. The story and the characters were compelling. It gave a real human face to the good and then bad guys. All of the characters are well developed and bring their personal outlook and the experiences that shaped them. It's nice to see a movie with a solid plot, whose hope, balanced with grave challeneges tell the story without a lot of gratuitous violence.
I was surprised that there was a lot more to see in the movie aftee what seemed like a generous trailer. The sets were well designed. It was well shot although the scenes that were intentionally shot as if they came from a cellphone wobbled more than I cared for. Otherwise. All good.
