Critics Review

Okay, that was racist. But if the the world is still racist now, imagine in the 1960's. I had a feeling this movie wouldn't be my cup of tea, and it's not. Of course, Holly Golightly dresses iconically and Audrey Hepburn delivered a good performance. But that's about it. Holly and Paul did have some chemistry going on and everything, but all the social climbing narrative got me bored in like, half an hour. Poor ginger cat, having to survive that bunch of crazy people! I hope he was alright. Best character in this movie.

Una de las tragicomedias románticas clásicas más conocidas, con una tremenda Audrey Hepburn en uno de sus mejores papeles, que enamora y da ternura al mismo tiempo. La historia de dos personas desastrosas, una buscavidas y un escritor que sobrevive a duras penas y con la ayuda económica de una mujer casada que prácticamente lo usa de gigoló, que acaban viviendo en el mismo edificio y sus vidas se cruzan desde el primer momento. Ella, una cabezaloca que cree que no será feliz hasta que se case con un hombre rico, y él, que cae a sus pies desde el primer momento aunque no quiera reconocerlo. Una película que engancha, con magníficos momentos como el de la fiesta, que es una locura muy divertida, y otros incluso dramáticos. Una de esas películas que hay que ver.

Audrey Hepburn great, why they added Mickey Rooney as the grumpy Asian is beyond my imagination. Nonetheless a great movie with a great score.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a gem that seamlessly blends romance, drama, and a touch of comedy. It boasts a rich tapestry of themes that lend depth to the story, making it a truly unique and engaging experience. The film is both stylistic and ahead of its time in some ways. First and foremost, Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly is nothing short of perfection. Her performance captures Holly's enchanting charm, elegance, and underlying vulnerability with precision. Initially, Holly appears as a free-spirited and charismatic character with a distinctive accent. However, as the story unfolds, we discover the layers beneath her facade, revealing a complex individual carrying emotional scars from her past. This well-crafted character adds significant depth to the film, elevating it to the status of a high-quality romantic dramedy. Moreover, the film impressively tackles challenging themes. Holly's struggle with identity and her journey of self-discovery, marked by her sense of perceived loneliness and past regrets, are central to the narrative. The film also delves into themes of class, societal expectations, and the elusive American dream. These thought-provoking elements, unexpected in a romantic comedy, make the film intellectually stimulating. The film's stylistic choices are also worth noting. Its visually captivating cinematography beautifully captures the glamour of New York City, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for the story. The costume design, particularly Holly's wardrobe, is iconic and influential, reflecting the sophistication of New York's elite. Additionally, the film's music, with "Moon River" as its standout track, is nothing short of stellar, earning an Academy Award for Best Original Song. However, there are some valid criticisms to consider. The film's racial stereotyping, though a product of its time, remains problematic. Similarly, the age differences between some romantic interests can feel awkward. Furthermore, the supporting characters, including Paul, lack the same depth as Holly. In conclusion, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a unique and enduring take on the romantic dramedy genre that continues to influence contemporary cinema. While it bears some dated elements, the film's clever storytelling, stylish aesthetics, and cult classic status make it a cinematic treasure that deserves recognition.
