Some really cool ideas and arresting images, done with an impressive animation style. But the film lacks emotional impact, and ultimately gets bogged down in typical anime conventions. Power-hungry villains, psychological bullshit, convoluted plotting, tentacle rape. My mind just kind of shuts off when people start talking about "the true power". I'm thoroughly unimpressed by Satoshi Kon so far.

The animation is beautiful and the story is interesting, if a little too convoluted. The ending really brought the movie down for me though, and what could have been a great movie ended up being simply very good.

Riddled with the cliches of anime storytelling, but its surreal, eerie, and intensely trippy dream sequences are a treat to watch. It does capture the effects of dreams/hallucinations in beautiful ways that can't be done outside of animation.

Dreams, desires, narcissism, cinema, fiction, emergent ideas, refrigerators, frogs. All mixed into one. Damned if I could digest it all. I think it should've been tightened and restrained a little in places to really give you breathing space to feel the film's essence, rather than having to constantly follow a step behind trying to decipher real from unreal from ununreal. The social commentary also fell flat, compared with Paranoia Agent anyway. No doubt however, a truly great animated feature.

Succeeds in being dreamy and surreal, the plot accompanied by the style of the animation is a fantastic pair. That song that always is played with the marching dream sequence is defintely a fitting pick. My only complaint is the women's voices in the movie are annoyingly stereotypical for a japanese person. Definately a good movie that pushes the boundries of reality.

Anime's answer (or, better, precursor) to Inception, with all that implies. Absolutely stunning dream sequences. The plot is far from logical or coherent, but that's clearly not the main objective here. Sheer enjoyment. And Paprika the character is cute as hell.

In response to Judge Holden: There's barely any nudity in this movie, let alone gratuitous nudity. Also, the tentacle rape was very mild and the only orifice that was penetrated was the mouth. Stop exaggerating, you pervert. That being said, your point about this film revolving around bullshit pop psychology is the truth, though this was sometimes overshadowed by its great visual flair, so I liked it much more than you.

Stunning animation and beautiful scene after scene. A complex dialogue time after time, but the story itself is not bothered with it much. Great characters, humour, a bit of erotism and overwhelming details make this story way more interesting dream interpretation than Linklaters' (over)filosofic Waking Life.

A very good movie, with wonderful visuals and sounds, but also one that has been done better a few times. Its attempts to merge the dream world with reality, and both of those worlds with movies, aren't entirely successful, although they are quite enjoyable to watch.

There's much to applaud about this movie - the visuals are breathtakingly gorgeous and are complimented by the equally stunning score - but 'Paprika' is by no means a perfect film. The problem with a movie about dreams is that any idea can be explained, which lets a screenwriter/director run wild. Here, it leads to a confused narrative, that tries to be to clever, at the expense of decent chracters and engaging storytelling. It's by no means bad but, like 'Inception, it can't be taken seriously.

What can I say? The film that inspires me to make movies. A beautifully animated adventure that passes from surreal to real in a blink of an eye. Watch in the original Japanese, because it is poetry. The dream driven speeches flow with elegance that only exists within this film. Thank you Satoshi Kon for this film, and RIP.

Cinema as a form of collective dreaming, both fantastic and insidious, the stakes of which are the controllability or otherwise of desire. The imagery is vivid and complex, if not quite beautiful, and the ideas are interesting and indeed highly relevant to the problems of contemporary living, but, as seems inevitable with this kind of cartoon, the characters are at best one-dimensional and the dialogue mediocre if not painfully stilted. I still prefer INCEPTION.

Meh. Neat idea, mediocre movie. The thing that impressed me most was the construction of the cop's backstory and his dream--that's a perfect example of dream logic, and that kind of thing is hard to write. Big fat point deductions for a huge lack of character development, general failure to be more interesting, tentacle rape, and lame-o deus ex machina ending out of nowhere.

Pretty animation and a some conceptually memorable scenes doesn't save this story from being your average Manga hokum, complete with a display of supernatural powers and gratuitous nudity.

Holy moly. This is everything Inception wishes it could have been, blurring the lines between reality and dreams (and movies, as it were) in a wildly imaginative manner. It scarcely slows down for a moment, leaping from one crazy setpiece to the next, never pausing to catch its breath. An utter blast.

Very good. I bought this after seeing Perfect Blue and was NOT disappointed. I think it’s really well directed and very cleverly edited, but the story is also paced well enough and easy enough to follow that I never got lost in what was going on. I did, however, get lost in the characters, especially Chiba and Paprika. I did catch mroe on the second viewing too, so seeing it again and again will be really fun. Gorgeously animated and expertly told in a way that only Satoshi Kon can.

From the first shot, I'm immediately feeling 'Inception' vibes, but that lasts about 5 seconds before this movie becomes entirely different. The animation and sound design are flawless in my opinion, the humor really works for me as well. Kon gives us yet another powerhouse female protagonist in Chiba/Paprika, which he seems to be good at. All in all, this is very original and entertaining film that you'll probably need to watch at least twice. I give 9 DC Minis out of 10.

Incredibly great, inventive ideas and scene moments that lose power to the convoluted story and weak characters. The magic of the first ten minutes, before the story sets in, can't be undersold. If this had a plot that an audience could follow and strong characters, we'd love it...and call it Inception *big siren noise*.

Deeply frustrating. It wants to be a complex, thoughtful work about dreams, reality, fiction, and what's really driving us. But it doesn't have the understanding that it pretends to; not on dreams and reality, not on genius and science, not on maturity and immaturity, and definitely not on men and women. The characters are flat stereotypes, bringing no new understanding of how people work to the table. Excellent animation, excellent soundtrack, lovely imagery, but none of it *means* anything.

Paprika pleases with its expressive animation and cyberpunk ideas. Unfortunately, the way in which the plot develops is both a little messy and lacklustre. The execution of the merged dreamscape and reality was poor. A lot of characters are introduced quickly, many of which are not that interesting but do ultimately add to the arcs of main characters. Detective Konakawa is the audience proxy, but has way too much of a side story to be helpful. I liked Doctors Chiba & Tokita’s relationship.

This movie disappointed me.

The ideas are abstract: dreaming as the last refuge from the technological world, cinema as a language of collective unconscious. There are a lot of details to decipher, needlessly or not, but for me the important thing is simply the general uncanny feeling. Take delight in the unpredictable stream of dazzling imagery. This movie is a riot.

Tough to rate. It's imaginative in so many ways. But it relies too much on the cartoony bad guy pushing the story and the surrealism sometimes goes a bit too bonkers (not helped by the subtitles, which don't indicate that the incomprehensible sentences aren't supposed to be comprehensible). To me, it felt like it was going in one direction at the beginning, and then switched somewhere in the middle to a different (and more conventional) story.

It took me a couple of viewings to fully appreciate "Paprika". Its plotting is messy, and the screenplay often too simple for the more complex ideas it plays with. But I can't say I didn't do anything other than love this movie on each viewing. The visuals and sound completely won me over and although not always successful in its more existential aims, I just didn't care. Hell, I'd give it T10 just for the parade scenes!

A fun ride with some wonderfully memorable visuals, but not quite the decisive thesis on dreams and the mind it's sometimes portrayed as. That its climax hinges on a declaration of love should be its best selling point, but it fails to really set that emotion up. The comments on cinema as a sort of dream state hits a bit better. A sometimes muddled but fun film.

An ambitious movie with some spectacular visuals, but it is let down by trying to be too deep and psychological, while it lacks in emotional impact by not giving any background or motivation to its characters. It's hard to take the story seriously when it becomes apparent that anywhere, anytime could be a dream, anything can happen within these dreams, and anyone can be impacted. Aesthetically it was a mish-mash of styles, and less pleasing than even the flamboyant mess of Ghost In The Shell 2.

So very many films aim for the trifecta of Sexy, Stylish and Smart, only to fall horribly short on at least one count and suffer heavily from the failure. This one, though, hits the first two dead-on... and then overshoots a little on the third. My advice is, decide before watching whether you'd rather strap in for a hell of a ride or try and follow what's actually happening, and save the other option for a repeat viewing.

Has a better sense of dream logic than many films that try their hand at pulling it off. This ultimately falls apart when the narrative is forced to adapt to a formulaic climax and what you get instead is very silly, garish animated surrealism. The animation itself is not to my liking at all, nor is the music, and this also lets down any attempt to render a dream-like experience.

Wow is Paprika fun, and often times I didn't even know what the hell was going one. I just knew my eyeballs, and eardrums were in rapture.

From the boundless imagination of Satoshi Kon comes another example of great art in Japanese animation. Satoshi Kon's filmography is probably the best example I've found of true artistic expression working really well in an animated medium. Paprika is a trip and a half, and though there are a small handful of narrative shortcomings, they can be largely overlooked in favor of the evocative depth on display. This movie has so much to say about the duality of human existence, and I love that depth.

Good. A young female doctor assisted by a sprite tries to stop a mind controlling machine. It features very creative and beautiful animation but the real highlight is the intensely deep and intricate plot that you get lost into or lose if you linger off screen too long. Well directed and perfect for even casual anime viewers. Recommended.

Very interesting psycho-thriller, but it left me rather confused at points. Lots of potential, but not all of it realized. Good nonetheless.
