What to Know

Critics Consensus

It contains some ugly anachronisms, but Blake Edwards is at his funniest in this iconic classic, and Audrey Hepburn absolutely lights up the screen.

Holly Golightly, is Audrey Hepburn not incredible in Breakfast at Tiffany’s -- a romantic, elegant classic whose charm continues to resonate, even as some cultural elements reflect their era.

Miss Hepburn sparklingly personifies all the Hollies of the world, each of whom has certain personality traits in common, facets which the lovely actress superbly makes her own. Go to Full Review Peter John Dyer Sight & Sound 1d
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a charming, rather cock-eyed, whimsical, fantastical, sentimental fairy story, with a whopping part for Audrey Hepburn. Go to Full Review Kate Cameron New York Daily News 1d
The principal members of the cast are exceptionally adept in their roles. Go to Full Review Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) 1d
For once, New York on the screen looks not ferociously skyscraping, but sunny, sparkling, elegant. Go to Full Review Sandra Saunders Philadelphia Daily News 1d
Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" has been translated into a delightfully "kookie" screen comedy. Paced by Audrey Hepburn as madcap heroine Holly Golightly, [the film has] wit, charm and infectious high spirits that spill over into the audience. Go to Full Review P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports 1d
This sophisticated comedy is an exciting entry with its measure of pleasurable entertainment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
