On second watch it hits home just how amazingly bizarre this film is. Only Neil Jordan could mix the topics of transgender and the IRA twice in one career and come out smelling of roses. Cillian Murphy is a riot in this flick and makes one hell of a convincing woman.

After having a closer look of it, I convinced myself to finally score the video since the cover girl looks like the masterful Uma Thurman, see? And to my awful, side-splitting reaction as I be... read more

Description: Breakfast on Pluto offers an endearing portrait of a transvestite whose playful ease in the face of one crucial experience after another makes him into what the Taoist sages call "a disciple of life."

A Complete Review of Neil Jordan's work (19 movies items)

" Cast : Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson, Stephen Rea, Dominic Cooper, Ian Hart What was it about? In the 1970s, a young trans woman, Patrick "Kitten" Braden, comes of age by leaving her Irish town for London, in part to look for her mother and in part because her gender identity is beyond the town's understanding. My two cents: Eventually, even though it was not bad at all, I still ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. Indeed, even though the main character"
