Personal Opinions

This is one of my favourite movies, animated or otherwise. At it's core Perfect Blue is a tight psychological thriller, but there are also elements of an experimental and thorough mindfuck, a critique of the idol industry and general sexism in society, and perhaps most importantly a human story about ambition and exploitation. There are tons of unexpected turns in the plot, and even after the movie ends you'll be wondering what exactly happened. Highly recommended.
