"Breakfast on Pluto," released in 2005 and directed by Neil Jordan, initially received a mix of critical responses. While many praised its bold storytelling and Cillian Murphy's compelling performance as Kitten, some critics found its tonal shifts challenging, leading to a somewhat divided reception. Over time, however, the film garnered a dedicated following appreciative of its unique blend of drama, comedy, and its sensitive exploration of transgender identity. Today, it is regarded as an underrated gem that bravely tackled themes ahead of its time, with Charlene McKenna and Liam Cunningham supporting the story by portraying characters Caroline Braden and Biker, respectively. Its reputation has grown, and it holds a special place for audiences seeking heartfelt narratives from the 1970s setting.
