A wildly inventive creation that is just about as adult as an animated film can get, and at times, I even started to forget that it was, in fact, animated.

Satoshi Kon has created a taut, tense thriller that's a lot more coherent than many sci-fi animes, and deftly weaves several levels of reality up until the twist ending.

Popular anime is mature/violent, despite sunny art style.

With the freedom of animation comes a more effective blurring of fantasy and reality.

The film has style and then some -- maybe too much, in fact, but the visual interest always remains high, and the storyline is intriguing.

Quite enthralling.

The mood is spot-on, then deliriously spottier. As Mima's sense of what's real dissolves, the film spins mirror-plates of possible realities, shattering them on the set of Mima's film before a B-movie-ish action-climax and a too-pat whodunit? reveal.

Animated Japanese thriller about the price of fame is rich, deep and dark.

Kon signe d'une main de maître un thriller enlevant et chaotique dont la nature déjantée et le goût pour les effets théâtraux rappellent le Dario Argento des belles années

A must-see for fans of Japanese animation, and might make the genre a few converts.

A definite example that animated films can truly stimulate the mind, Perfect Blue is not for the faint of heart.
August 19, 2006
[An] nime thriller [that] often plays as an examination of identity and celebrity, but ultimately gets so lost in its own complex structure that it doesn't end up saying much at all.
