The Syed Family Xmas Eve Game Night

3.5

Synopsis:

All cards are on the table when a queer Pakistani Muslim woman brings her Puerto Rican girlfriend home for the first time on the family’s annual game night.

Quick Thoughts:

With a sense of uniqueness, quirkiness, and a dash of culture, “The Syed Family Xmas Eve Game Night” is a must-watch for the holiday season! While it has only been shown at a few festivals, I hope that it is released to a wider audience quickly. “Having a queer Muslim Brown rom-com world premiere at one of the most important film festivals in the world is revolutionary,” director Fawzia Mirza stated during the short film’s premiere. And I fully concur – we NEED to see even more queer stories that include non-white persons. Just in this short film alone, we have the merging of a queer Pakistani Muslim and a lesbian Puerto Rican. Keep your eyes peeled in order to catch this film – it’s worth watching!
