TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

janicemanson First of all, there is no mystery to uncover seeing as how the whole mystery is the fact that he suffers from split personality disorder and spends half his time dressed as a woman, and that is revealed instantly at the start of the movie. Movie would have been better if the audience had to figure out on their own that Emma and John were one in the same. But because of the description of the movie, the audience is thinking there is some big mystery, and since we know from the get-go that John and Emma are the same person, we then assume there is some other mystery to be revealed. There isn't. This painfully slow-talking, whispering, and total bore of a movie drags on for an hour and a half, but it feels like a 9-hour movie. Think Norman Bates but extremely functional and impossibly boring. They could've fooled the audience by calling Emma Jon's sister, and doing some tricky makeup and this movie would have been so much better letting the audience discover it for themselves.

hollester0831 I haven't seen this movie yet, but I know that it was filmed in Iowa. I am from Iowa born and raised and am glad to hear that it was filmed here. Apparently there is a part in the movie that states one of the character's was born in Ladora, crazily, that is where I am from. It has about three hundred people here in Iowa. Just wanted to share my excitement about that since most folks in Iowa don't even know of a place called Ladora. Essentially it is mind blowing to hear that you small hometown, that no one knows about is referenced somewhere in a movie. I am gratified to hear about this news, yet feel quite tickled to death. I hope that more movies are made in Iowa, it's a pleasure hosting them.

Mike B This is on the weird side of things. It's about a troubled man with a tortured upbringing who dresses as a woman every morning. He successfully hides this from the community until the day a railway accident comes barreling through his back-yard while his woman-side is hanging up the clothes. All the neighbors in the small town think it is his newly hidden wife. So new relationships ensue within the town. And the situation becomes rather tangled with his "wife" impersonations leading to conflicts of interests.It's a slow progression that fortunately never becomes over-wrought. The acting by Cilian Murphy in both roles is first rate. The ending is somewhat inconclusive and unbelievable - and that brought my rating down.

Sally Warner Lets be honest here I think Cillian is amazing on any day, OK so Sunshine wasn't a wonderful movie but I still liked him in it.Cillian Murphy is amazingly psychotically bad in "Red Eye" and fantastically whimsical and engrossing in "Breakfast on Pluto". In this movie he is absolutely believable as the off the edge, damaged, suppressed, introverted and terrified of everything John and the outgoing confident and all over wonderful Emma. Helped by the coverings of the clothes of the day both roles are absolutely spot on.Ellen Paige's role lacks the edge of complete confusion that should have gone with the interaction with the two characters and omission of the script rather than the actress.This has only just arrived on video in New Zealand but it is an absolute gem. There are a couple of great touches that highlight really well just how the characters are coping with the situation and they really help illustrate just how repressed and covert things had to be behind closed doors.The film is a really slow build and it is worth the wait. Untypical of the breed you are left with the wonder of how they all would have been after it ended. The sign I think of a satisfying movie - you get to be involved with the people and feel for them. I would have loved to have seen it on the big screen but no such luck although I will try to get the local arty theatre to put it on their list.
