This film was absolutely phenomenal! Cillian Murphy deserved that Golden Globe award. NOT Joaquin Pheonix. I've never seen such a stand-out movie. This film should have been released nationwide. Ruth Negga is awesome as well. The cast is terrific! 1 billion... Full review

Breakfast on Pluto is sure to be the smartest film of the season. A stellar cast with brilliant performances (particularly Cillian Murphy) carries you through the winding and shocking political and politically incorrect explosiveness of the revolution.

Made up of mostly interviews with the cast and crew, with some on-set footage thrown in, it's an OK look at the way the film was brought together.

Breakfast on Pluto" is as appropriately strange as its title, but nowhere near as bizarre as one might imagine.
That's the film's striking but subtle message.
For writers, Neil Jordan is nothing short of an inspiration.

His favorite song is Bobby Goldsboro's lamenting, lamentable "Honey," and his favorite story is his own, which he narrates effusively in Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto .
The commentary on various scenes offered by whimsical digital robins is considerably less effective.
