Critical reception

The movie opened on August 8, 2013, in New York City and was well reviewed by The Village Voice, The [New York Times], and New York Post, which gave the film three stars and said: "Breakup at a Wedding works, because Quinaz has come up with a concept that lets him skewer directorial pretension alongside wedding hysteria. He achieves a lot with harsh light, wavering focus and awful framing that occasionally beheads the person on-screen. It takes genuine skill to make a movie look this amusingly cruddy."
