One of the many beauties of The Swallows of Kabul is that it portrays every central character as a complex human being capable of change. A simple rant against Taliban evils would be easy and forgettable. This film threads an undying hope for the future through every shade of its tragedy and sacrifice.

This tale of repression and injustice is potent enough to overcome the inevitable distancing that occurs because of the animation process.
