Leave your thoughts about Breakfast on Pluto.
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxJordan and McCabe's real triumph here, however, is the tenderness with which they imbues "Kitten," and the astonishing grace with which the extraordinary Murphy pulls it off. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioThis is not for everyone, Jordan's stuff never is, but if you're into good acting it's worth a look. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeNeil 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. |
| PremiereGlenn KennyPlayful, poetic, shocking, saddening, and ultimately gratifyingly and honestly big-hearted. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn endearing portrait of a transvestite whose playful ease in the face of one harrowing experience after another makes him into what the Taoist sages call "a disciple of life" |
| Boston HeraldJames Verniere[Jordan] adds yet another uniquely beautiful soul to the list of otherwordly beings he has summoned to life. |
| Portland OregonianShawn Levy[Murphy] makes a thrillingly flesh-and-blood creature of Kitten, with her yearning, her droll, self-deprecating wit, her breathless romanticism and her puckish vibrancy. It's easily the most fun bit of screen acting this year, and as rich and nuanced as the lead in any drama. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is like a Dickens novel in which the hero moves through the underskirts of society, encountering one colorful character after another. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenEpisodic and uneven, the movie is a must-see with its tour-de-force performance by Cillian Murphy. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[T]his is one of those crying-on-the-inside comedies, and Cillian Murphy's sublime performance as Patrick is as touching as it is funny... |
