Loved it!

A break from the normal gay dramas, this one actually had heart and soul. Amazing script and excellent actors. Just the right amount of comedy too. Loved every minute, and I'm glad there were some loose ends left open. I demand several sequels!! Lol

Heartwarming film that shatters stereotypes

Finally! A film about Arabs that doesn't involve tired tropes and stereotypes. And a beautiful love story at that. This film has everything-its romantic, funny, and clever. It thoughtfully explores what it means to be both Muslim and gay, without assuming those two identities are in conflict with one another. The writing, acting, and directing is top notch. The music is incredible and adds so much to the story. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite films!

Different & Nice

This is a beautiful different special gay rom-com because it includes a gay muslim character and this kind of representation is usually not so common, and it's interesting. The script is nice with many interesting deep lines, and sometimes it's both hilarious and emotional. Performances are all very good. Cinematography is awesome too with many beautiful shots. Breaking Fast is a unique important light funny touching rom-com.

This movie is an absolute delight!

BREAKING FAST is everything I love in a romcom. It's funny, sweet, and heartwarming, with completely relatable characters. It's an old school premise (2 characters fall in love over the holidays amidst a backdrop of shenanigans from friends and family), with a modern day twist (it's Ramadan instead of Christmas and the lead role is a gay, Arab, Muslim man!). Amin El Gamal (the best friend) and Rula Gardenier (the mom) are absolute scene stealers! And the chemistry between the 2 leads, Haaz Sleiman and Michael Cassidy, is palpable and sizzling. This movie is an absolute delight!

A Queer Muslim Must-See

This movie has heart and represents a group of people not seen on the screen very often. It's beautiful and happily romantic

Wissenswertes
The character of Kal is specifically named after Kal-El, otherwise known as Superman, the fact of which is specifically mentioned more than once in the movie, with both main characters being major fans of the character of Superman. Both the Christopher Reeve portrayals of Superman, and the Henry Cavill portrayals of Superman are mentioned, and several clips from Superman - Der Film (1978) are featured when the two main characters attend a theatrical screening of the film. Additionally, second lead Michael Cassidy, who portrays the character of Kal, appears in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), portraying Jimmy Olsen.

Any true actor knows the definition of the term blocking & it isn't grabbing anyone while rehearsing a script.

Mo: Okay, Mom, I can't even deal with A your racism and B with how you think me and my future husband, sent by God because of your prayers, are going to have full-blooded Arab babies.
