Review of Breakfast on Pluto (2005) by Bobby B — 22 Apr 2011
Neil Jordan directs skillfully and stylishly as expected. Breakfast on Pluto also has an infectious soundtrack and is filled with darkly funny and lightly surreal moments - but the real reason to see this film is Cillian Murphy.
Murphy is dazzling in his transformative role as the naive, lost Kitten. He creates a memorable and heartfelt character, and makes Breakfast on Pluto a rewarding and entertaining 2 hours. I would not say that I was blown away by Breakfast or am dying to revisit it, but it was a good time.
It has a similar mix of the tragic and whimsical as Jordan's prior film The Butcher Boy, although I slightly prefer the latter.
