It's a witty, beautifully observed and well-acted film that proves as engaging as it is boundary-shattering. Read full review

Breaking Fast is a sweet romantic comedy that shows how it's possible to observe nearly every convention of the mainstream romantic comedy yet still deliver something that feels new. Read full review

Mosallam’s incisive and heartfelt, if occasionally on-the-nose, approach to matters of love, religion, family and culture sets the film apart. Read full review

Breaking Fast is an Islamic “Wedding Banquet,” a West Hollywood rom-com so cute it flirts with “cutesy,” almost cloying when it isn’t being cute, but damned adorable in the bargain. Read full review

This movie is just straight up insulting to all Muslims around the world. Even the little details are just wrong like the Muslim girl who breaks her fast with a shot of wine. Don't bother watching it. If you are a Muslim just give it a 0/10, don't think about ever again and call it a day.
