October 3, 2009The movie that turned me into an instant Cillian Murphy fan! Review coming soon.

September 29, 2009Another fine Neil Jordan film! The cast are brilliant especially Cillian Murphy. The film works well in chapter format and delivers laughs and tears in equal measures without insulting the audience. Not as good as The Crying Game but definitely up there as one of Jordan's best fi...( read more)

September 11, 2009An interesting role for Cillian Murphy and one he played well. A tale that seems over the top in parts and realistic in others. It?s not a hugely powerful storyline, yet it?s one that keeps yours attention throughout.

January 27, 2009An important difference between this film and The Crying Game comes out in the performances. What Cillian Murphy does here is different than what was asked of Jaye Davidson. Murphy is known to us and seems to become, not just a transvestite or a drag queen, but an honest-to-God w...( read more)

November 16, 2009I just love the completely outrageous nature of this. The narrative side of this is just such a charming and unique story. Cillian Murphy just shows what an amazing actor he is with a truly convincing and realistic (to the story) character. It also spares no expense to go sideway...( read more)

November 13, 2009Probabilmente Cillian Murphy non farà mai più niente di così bello, ma va bene così.

October 6, 2009I was expecting a lot more from this movie, but it has what it takes to be a good one. Funny, entertaining and also touching in a way.
May I say Cillian Murphy is not only great in this role, but he also is gorgeous as Kitten.

You'll be singing along to the soundtrack of Neil Jordan's enchanting Breakfast on Pluto, which boasts the most felicitous use of wall-to-wall pop songs I've ever heard. full review

Pluto's story is scattershot, though it occasionally resonates. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Murphy is an actor to watch. Even in heels. full review

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Despite its sometimes-delectable whimsy, Breakfast on Pluto ... winds up being only moderately satisfying. full review

March 28, 2008CILLIAN ROCKS AS KITTEN BRANDON!!!!!!!
He realy made an effort to choose a character totaly different as he usualy mades his own (villains). In this one he choose a guy who always though being a girl was easy, loving others of the same sex, falling on problems and watch his best friends die or have a baby! His life was so horrible and painful...looking for a mom who dosnt want him or leave him on his own sence he was born, looking for her and see she only remembers having 2 kids and that's it...nothing involving her older son, Patrick! it is sad that this kind of things still pass on this real world, were people have this homofobia, or hate their sons or daughters to be something different from what the Bible says! This movie made me laugh, cry and made wanted to see it all the times I wanted because it was not only brilliant, it was wonderful and lovely and AMAZING! I love this story and Im glad they won some Golden Globes and Oscars too! If they made a sequel, count on me! -

September 6, 2007I loved this movie. Didn't think it was "draggy" at all. Favorite quote? "And what is your name..CONCRETE?" LOL

January 5, 2007The character it's not "Pussy",it's "Kitten".I've been wanting to watch this movie,and I finally had the opportunity.It's funny and serious at the same time.It's disturbing how good Cillian Murphy looks all dressed up and with all the makeup!He did an excelent job.It's a very good movie,I really liked it.

October 21, 2006Most people who have bothered to write a review have given it between 4 and 5 stars. I suspect there are lots of people giving the film a poor rating who haven't even seen it. I'm not sure why. If lots of people really hated it they would write a review explaining why.
-
September 30, 2006I'm really surprised this film has such a low rating, especially when so many other boring films have four+ stars! I haven't seen it yet, but with Neil Jordan directing and Cillian in the lead, I thought it couldn't go wrong! Will have to watch it and see I guess.
