Pffhahahaa Cillian Murphy is brilliant.
Also, what's the deal with Neil Jordan and Transgenders? Just joking. Really digging his films though.

A brilliant interpretation of actor Cillian Murphy playing the character Patrick "Kitten" Braden, an Irish guy with some unusual peculiarities, which cause them to go search for his mother to London. The way the character well studied movements, expressions, each female behavior is crucial to play the character. An unusual argument, and especially a good picture of Ireland '60s.

"I had no idea what this film was about before viewing it, and am still a little confused. The story follows a foundling child who becomes a transvestite (or is possibly an unreassigned transsexual - I'm not sure as it isn't made clear imo) in 1970s Ireland and travels to London in search of his mother. The film looked and sounded great, Cilian Murphy played the lead character beautifully and Bryan Ferry was an excellent wouldbe strangler, but the characters, their motivations and interactions all seemed very shallow. I didn't care about them, or what happened to them."

Cuesta introducirse en el cuento de una chica que nació como chico y tuvo una vida realmente particular. Lo positivo es que tiene un ritmo ágil y en muchos momentos entretiene, pero no es una película que te cambie la vida ni te haga querer verla por segunda vez en un plazo corto de tiempo.
Eso sí, la banda sonora es genial.

You have never seen a film like this. First of Cillian Murphy is pure genius as Patrick/Kitten and Neil Jordan does the perfect job of projecting Kittens world onto the screen. A world that you're not sure if it's make believe or not.

Ένας παπάς, μια χαμένη μητέρα, ο IRA και η Kitty.
Επίσης, ο λόγος που ο Cillian Murphy είναι πάντα Kitty στο μυαλό μου. -
Cillian Murphy is beyond fantastic in this. The movie itself is choppy, but I like how it's from Kitten's perspective and has this dreamlike feel to it that really works.
