Breakfast on Pluto movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: ... despite the movie's bouncy ebullience (courtesy of a terrific period soundtrack) and dashes of fantasy, the film quickly becomes an endurance test. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: We're handed 36 separate chapters in the life of an androgynous sunbeam, but the whimsy is like a piece of caramel lodged between two of your back teeth: a sweet irritant. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: Held together by a brilliant fiber of obscure pop songs from the era, Breakfast on Pluto may be Jordan's most agreeable mixture of wisdom and whimsy. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: ... ambitious and endlessly intriguing ... Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Perhaps too audacious for some and too coy for others, Breakfast on Pluto is one of those mercurial movies where you really have no idea where it'll take you next. Like its star, it's smart, mischievous and fearless. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Breakfast on Pluto ambles along nicely, but feels as if it's never going to end. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: The very characteristics that keep him alive and kicking are the ones that keep you at arm's length. No surprise, then, that even the satisfying and semi-satisfying conclusions to various narrative threads don't quite satisfy. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: If you're in the mood for an edgy, raucous, music-driven gender-bender, rent Hedwig and the Angry Inch instead. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: In [Jordan's] new film, Breakfast on Pluto, he's trying for a much more elaborate version of [The Crying Game]. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Jordan is the kind of director you follow out of trust, even when his movies aren't perfect. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Breakfast on Pluto may seem a fairy tale at times (no pun intended), but this Kitten has claws. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Beneath the film's monotony, one senses a whiff of cop-out, of playing it safe: Patrick, for all his tender yearnings, shows no lust, no messy ego. He's a saddened saint in pouffy shirts, and Jordan turns his crying game into one big, long whine. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Like Kitten and everything else about Breakfast on Pluto, it's altogether too overstated and obvious, but at least it doesn't pretend to have any significance whatsoever. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: It's a film in and of its own world, sparked by a wicked performance full of wide-eyed wonder. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: It's as coy and callow as you'd expect from a movie with a lead character nicknamed Kitten. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: The movie's drastic shifts in tone sabotage any attempt at sustained emotional engagement. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: The twittering main character quickly wears out his welcome. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The film is downright aggravating. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Enchanting and hopeful. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: 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. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: [T]he performance by Cillian Murphy ... is terrific. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: A cunningly crafted fairytale ... Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: If an eventful life journey doesn't produce maturity or just simple insight, it doesn't feel terribly worth it. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: So dense with dying fizzle and limp ideas that I began to wonder if Jordan has an evil twin, or if there are in fact several Neil Jordans, among them at least one literate stylist and one humor-handicapped village idiot. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Ultimately, the film's detachment is its inspired idea and its inherent problem. Read more
