Hilariously provocative, politic, Irish indeed, Breakfast on Pluto is an entertaining movie that gets you on tears sometimes. I find the main character somehow weak, too easily strayed from his unknown path, and even though his performance is top-class, I kinda longed for a moment of assertiveness until the time came when he was facing his long-lost mother and he decides to hide his identity. Good ending, realistic, believable with mother and son crossing their paths like the strangers they are. Liam Neeson fills the screen and not because we know him but (I guess this is great for a director) because he expresses the right emotions at the right time perfectly. There's no doubt about what he's going through when he utters his lines. Fantastic the camera work, those aerial shots at the beginning creating a vertigo that lets you down afterwards. I mean that it is the life of someone quite attached to the very basic stuff of life: body issue's, love longing and he never gets off this perspective, looking for any strand of love he can get. Even in the wrong places.
