Entertainment Reviews:
...A very interesting play on levels and perceptions of reality...
New York Times
Rating: 10/10 --
[Satoshi Kon's film], among the scariest in the medium, finds equally disturbing implications in its imagined threats as it does in its physical ones.

The Young Folks
A remarkable character piece about growth, staying true to yourself, and the terrors fandom can wreak.

Cinema Crazed
...It is an amazing feat of animation, a stylish psychological thriller....PERFECT BLUE creates an increasingly terrifying world and pulls you into it with the effectiveness of a Hitchcock classic...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
The action is wrapped up with a slightly ridiculous reveal, which doesn't quite make sense on its own terms, but Perfect Blue has its own kind of cult pungency.

Rating: 5/5 --
Perfect Blue is an apocalyptic slasher, the ultimate crystallization of everything we came to fear about the internet before it became synonymous with living.

Curtsies and Hand Grenades
Rating: A --
Perfect Blue's success lies in the twisted, self-referential storyline that intercuts reality with fantasy so fluidly that viewers inevitably take on Mima's shattered point of view, unable to distinguish the truth until the stunning conclusion.

Product Description:
A surprisingly thoughtful analysis of the Japanese pop icon phenomenon. Mima is an ex-pop idol who was worshipped by the masses before fashion dictated otherwise. In order to salvage her career, she decides to drop music and pursue acting. A soap opera role is offered but Mima's character is less clean cut than desired. Regardless, she agrees and events take a turn for the worse. She begins to feel reality slip. She discovers (imagines') her identical twin, a mirror image that hasn't given up singing. Internet sites appear describing every intimate detail of her life and a figure stalks her from the shadows. Her friends and associates are threatened, and killed, as Mima descends into a dangerous world of paranoid delusion. She fears for her life and must unravel fact from illusion in order to stay alive.
