Breakfast on Pluto
Breakfast on Pluto
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.

If Breakfast on Pluto has any glaring flaw it might be that it often throws a bummer wrench into its otherwise rousing vagrant adventure. However, I'm of the opinion that one of the most impressive things about the film is how it constantly rises above the weighty waters of autocratic rule, xenophobia and religious bigotry in which its set and pumps an irreverent pink punk fist in the air repeatedly even in the face of death and destruction.
The music selection and color palette also add to its electrifying flair. It's two hour length is completely packed and filled with big moment after moment with lots of character study packed in between.
