Reviews
Murphy's turn as the irrepressible Kitten is simply mesmerising - outrageous, tender and full of the sort of deep pain that no amount of make-up can conceal.
This is a long film that audiences will either love or dismiss.
Roaring with real life, Breakfast on Pluto belongs in that treasured subgenre, the gender bending memoir ...Cillian Murphy gives a career high performance as Kitten, so silky, so tough, so completely real that it haunts us.
It may not have the epic scope and complexity of Forrest Gump, but Breakfast on Pluto a small gem.
Breakfast on Pluto is definitely one of the most unusual, compelling films I have seen in quite some time.
As played by Murphy in what is an excellent performance, Kitten is sort of like a transvestite superhero--able to overcome impossible situations and look fabulous while doing it.
Breakfast on Pluto's novelistic feel can seem disjointed, but ultimately the structure frees the film to flit from one interesting encounter to another with a minimum of connecting material.
An amusing little romp, with all the substance of cotton candy.
Jordan plays the Crying Game again for this darly affecting epic.
It's awfully hard to take the material seriously, even though the plotting seems to demand it.
Murphy models his frocks comfortably enough, but 'Pluto is draggy in other, disappointing ways.
Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto bursts onto the screen ablaze with more color, more ideas, more nerve, more invention and more heart than just about anything imaginable.
