May 28, 2011Audrey Hepburn is captivating as the happy-go-lucky New York socialite, but I really feel movie making hadn't really progressed beyond traditional theatre at this stage. It feels like a play, mostly with indoor sets and a simple plot, with the direction being a bit OTT at times, ... read more

February 3, 2011Breakfast At Tiffany's is an absolute classic. The opening scene had me intrigued at once. It felt like an ending to a movie. The gentle and soft chords of Moon River playing, as a cab pulls up. This really felt as though it was early morning. There was already a lot of sadness a... read more

January 22, 2011Audrey Hepburn is the type of actress we just don't see anymore. She makes this film the fine picture it is with her unique, intricate portrayal of one of the most remarkable characters in film history. With a subtle, well-timed score accenting the emotional moments of the film, ... read more

January 5, 2011Something about Audrey Hepburn made me smile throughout the whole movie. Her smile, her acting, and her silly sense of humor were probably all a part in this. The story was different from other movies ive seen from the 60's and the music was genius from Henry Mancini. Its very we... read more

November 23, 2010I can see why people think this movie and it's main character are a classic on the surface, but when you really think about it, this movie is just another romantic comedy, and the story isn't all that great either. Personally I didn't understand Hepburn's character, but she does... read more

November 9, 2010Is this is a satire? Or are we to take Holly Golightly seriously? Is she a hero or an anti-hero? Are we rooting for her? How many more questions can I ask before I start answering them?
I can see why this film is considered a classic: it's a sensitive and beautifully-shot love... read more -
September 20, 2010"You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself."
Now this is what I like to see. Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of those classic movies that has a great legac... read more -
August 21, 2010I once saw this on a plane to Italy. I don't remember liking it a whole lot, but considering my recent furthered love of Miss Hepburn, I'm going to have to give it another watch.
Second watch: Okay, A LOT better than I originally thought.... Loved the story, I really want to read... read more

Out of the elusive, but curiously intoxicating Truman Capote fiction, scenarist George Axelrod has developed a surprisingly moving film, touched up into a stunningly visual motion picture. Full Review

This story of a party girl in love with a gigolo allows [director Blake] Edwards to create a very handsome film, with impeccable Technicolor photography by Franz Planer. Full Review

Audrey Hepburn gives one of her most stylish and iconic performances in this charming if slightly sentimental version of Truman Capote's famous novella. Full Review

Well, the movie still looks very good, and you'd need a heart of stone not to love the cat. Full Review
