This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Holly Golightly is a superficial, ambitious, money-orientated New York socialite. Paul Varjak, a writer, moves into her building and they become friends. Ultimately Paul falls in love with Holly but will she reciprocate or follow her ambitions?Great movie, with Audrey Hepburn in her definitive role. Warm, sweet and quite emotional with some iconic moments. My favourite would be Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" while sitting on the fire escape.

It has great acting and nice music. Some charming scenes between Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. But what bothered me was the racism (Mickey Rooney playing an Asian man) and the characters treatment towards her cat. She scares the cat half to death (when she gets bad news) and then kicks him out of the car in busy New York City, in the pouring rain. It was very hard to sympathize with her after that. It's worth watching, but overall I was disappointed, I thought it was going to be better.

No, the years have not been kind to this famous motion picture. However, in any case, I found Audrey Hepburn to be inordinately irritating and juvenile, while George Peppard came across as a rather dumb feller. The part Mickey Rooney played was asinine, plainly ridiculous, fell totally flat, seemed pointless. A few bit parts were extremely well done and helped bring the film up somewhat. 57 years since this movie came out and apparently many people still find it worthy of a very high rating. Well, I ain't one of them, that's for sure. 5/10 max.

Breakfast at Tiffanys is the perfect coming of age tale. Timeless, sad, touching, heartbreaking, infuriating and beautiful... For the most of the film it would be strange to find Audrey's character likable at all, but she's a real phony, if you know what I mean. This is brought up quite often in the film. She's been without, so now she wants it all, and believes that's the way to true happiness... but slowly as every door leading to false happiness closes, she must surely face the truth... that wherever you go, no matter what you own, the longing for something real cannot be long hidden. To be found, is merely to accept your sense of being lost, and there you are... appreciating what you have, and who has you. This movie touches me so very deeply, makes me cry every time, heck it makes me cry writing about it... so good... such great dialog and characters. I do feel the landlord is racist and a mistake, very dated, the only thing that doesn't work anymore... which is likely partly why the film only has a 7.7 on IMDb, but overlooking that, and getting to the end you discover just how meaningful, maybe even important this film is... So many of us give up the adventure of our lives for a little security, and thus stop living at all... and sometimes we all just need a little reminder, and Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of these special little reminders. A shame Audrey died in 1993, she's one of those people I would so much love to talk to.And Moon River, like lightning in a bottle...
