Beneath the lavish reputation there lies a surprising theme; war is hell, and the American dream is empty.
with every fiber of my being i despise this film.
I have to admit Mickey Rooney's performance turned my gut a bit, but otherwise I found this movie exceptional, much better than I remember it (but I watched it when I was little and this movie is not for children). Holly Golightly reminds me of a few women I've known and sheds some light on the internal struggles they hide behind their fun-loving demeanor. She's a very powerful and important character. --PolarisDiB
A STUNNING opening shot followed by the glossiest (and most entertaining) film imaginable. Audrey Hepburn is brillaint and the classy supporting cast is one-of-a-kind: George Peppard; Patricia Neal; Buddy Ebsen; Martin Balsam; Mickey Rooney (grotesque, but never dull)
Got to watch this in a cinema tonight. Such a great experience; I've never liked the film more.

I really did not enjoy this movie. I didn't like any of the characters, I actually really hated Hepburn in this movie, who cares about this rich girl? Also every one seems to forget about Mickey Rooney's incredibly racist performance, I can usually get past older film's portrayal of race if there is something you can get from the experience (Gone with the Wind) but this is just deplorable and this movie sucks.
Yowza! That shit was racist... seriously, wtf?
clássico mas lindo, idiota mas sensível, sou uma tola pela audrey
A candidate for one of the most misremembered films which has managed to accumulate an undeserved status (largely as a result of sickly ingredients that refuse to coalesce into anything other than froth). Even when viewed through half an open eye, this is little more than candy flavoured, sanitised stodge. Moon River has an obvious charm, despite the winsome strangulation by Hepburn (both ears shut to that one).
oh Breakfast at Tiffanys...as with my deeply conservative, right wing brother...I love you and think that you are funny, in spite of your long list of flaws and moments of poor taste.
It's so unreal and stupid, but "Moon River" in the rain makes up for it.
You can't help but to fall in love with it. Classic drama plot, lots of Givenchy pieces, beautiful Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey shits on your fave lbr~
absolutely beautiful movie. I just love Audrey here, and George Peppard. something I can see myself watching again and again. but let's all be honest here: Cat was the best part :) it was a very good character study though. Audrey at her best, yet again
The Taming of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, with a somewhat dated moral (and the last gasp of vintage Hollywood racism) offset by great performances by Audrey Hepburn and a cat.
Super melodramatic toward the end. Pretend Japanese guy was really not funny.
Audrey Hepburn is really pretty... But she looks really sad & lonely in this film, despite of her smile and laugh. My fav of all is 'MOONRIVER' scene!
i'm wary of anyone who glorifies audrey hepburn because of this movie (sabrina is a much better character and performance) but what really bothers me about this movie is that it had a lot of promise but became broken like its characters and instead of that appearing to be a beautiful deconstruction, it literally just fell apart. there are gorgeous moments in it though (paul's speech at the end and moon river!)
this is one of those films that for me falls into the category of "Medicine Treasures" films i watch to bring me back to my OWN self and my OWN reality.
"She's a social climber who can't see love even when they rub it on her face." So true. Nice movie, love Hepburn's acting so much.
I'd love to have a cat just like Cat.
The one thing i like the most is how they portray the man as a not really perfect guy and the girl as the hot mess one.
always makes me feel better.
Such a charming, sweet movie. 100% of the credit for its charm, though, comes from its brilliant star, Audrey Hepburn. In one of cinema's greatest ambiguous characters, she makes existentialism look downright fun. And at this point in American culture, you have to see Breakfast. I'm glad I did.
