Levit A- "It does one of the best things a movie can do: It makes you feel good."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Celebratory subversion"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce B- "Pure blarney, but it's well-meaning blarney, told by a master cinematic storyteller and boasting an eye-catching lead performance."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "An 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""   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "It may not have the epic scope and complexity of Forrest Gump, but Breakfast on Pluto a small gem."   Reel.com   James Plath 5/10 "I couldn't help but feel that I've already seen this character, and always portrayed in this similar manner -- fey, fanciful, indefatigable."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 2.5/4 "An odd, at times off-putting mixture of camp inflection and earnest insight."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich C- "Kitten [Murphy] is like the bouncing ball following a singalong... without adding any interpretation of her own."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Jordan’s film may seem like the tale of a gay Gump bumbling through history, but Kitten is neither as clueless nor as apolitical as he may seem."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Leo Goldsmith B "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."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[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..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B- "Despite its sometimes-delectable whimsy, Breakfast on Pluto ... winds up being only moderately satisfying."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "Sliding back and forth between comedy and tragedy is the film's strongest suit"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "An amusing little romp, with all the substance of cotton candy."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 7/10 "Neil Jordan's gender-bending again in this picaresque tale of a small-town Irish lad who becomes a transvestite, played by Cillian Murphy, whose versatility is astonishing!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "A Technicolor'd bird, flashed at the ridiculous capriciousness of life and Sartre's other people."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. Read review   Georgia Straight   Mark Harris Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1
