Breakfast looks like the kind of movie you watch after the kids are in bed, or perhaps with your cynical teenager who enjoys a bit of 'eat the rich' style domestic satire. It's a horror-comedy about the total collapse of the maternal pedestal, and based on the premise, it's going to be more stressful than sweet.
Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is a lighthearted romp about pancakes. This is a 'mom-horror' entry in the vein of The Babadook or Hereditary, but with a hostage-taker's buffet. It’s likely to be a fascinating watch for parents, but potentially a nightmare-inducer for kids who aren't ready to see a parent figure lose their grip on reality.
