Set in the 1970s amidst the eruption of British-Irish conflicts, Breakfast On Pluto is a film from Oscar®-winning director Neil Jordan that stars 2006 Golden Globe®-nominee Cilian Murphy and Oscar®-nominee Liam Neeson. Patrick "Kitten" Braden (Murphy) is abandoned as a baby and left on the doorstep of Father Bernard (Neeson). From a very young age, Patrick realizes he is different from the other boys but steadfastly refuses to change. When he grows up, Patrick decides to go in search of his real mother, who now lives in London. Thus begins a touching and funny journey that will lead him to the most unexpected place of all. This is the second time that writer Pat McCabe and Neil Jordan have teamed up, the first being the wonderful collaboration on Butcher Boy.

I was quite looking forward to this but ended up clock watching it did not hold my attention at all bar a few funny moments. Some people will no doubt love it the softly softly tones of the main character drove me nuts 0/10 for me, the girlies would probably give it more which says it all!

I watched this movie thinking I would hate it, but Patrick McCabe does it again. I loved it! The plot was farcical but captivating, the cast was spectacular and even though it was my girlfriend who rented it originally I now intend to buy it at the first opportunity

Martina from Galway, 16 May 2007
An amazing film. Granted the story is weak but the acting is brilliant. Cillian Murphy is a national treasure. Irish films like this one make me very proud to be Irish. How come all his Irish films have been brilliant but his American ones are not that great?

Patrick Jordan uses a light touch on a film which glances off of serious topics - the Troubles, abortion, rejection of societies' assigned roles, etc. The film follows the life of Kitten, from his infant arrival on the doorstep of a church, to the streets of London, chronicling his flamboyant and inspired search for his mother. Cillian Murphy fills the role with both gusto and sensitivity, bringing a mortal touch to a larger-than-life character.

One of those completely emasculating films that your wife or girlfriend will probably enjoy. Men are weak, sinning, stupid, or murderous (though there's a little redemption at the end for one.) Women -- at least the open minded ones -- are saintly. Cillian Murphy (Excellent as the Scarecrow in Batman Begins) is even more amazing here. I found it a bit slow and plodding, but with a few well drawn characters. About a 6/10 for me. My wife would give it an 7/10.

Jennifer from Donegal, 20 Jun 2009
Loved this film.There is so much going on in the movie.The main character is so vulnerable and yet so strong in a time that was unforgiving in it's attitudes to single mothers,homosexuals and in the middle of all this The Troubles just for good measure.I liked the use of music from the period to enhance the story.The acting was just great a good cast, good director and it didn't disappoint.
