Perfect Blue

About This Movie

So, Perfect Blue... It really dives deep into the psyche of its main character, and you feel that tension build throughout. The atmosphere is unsettling, almost suffocating at times. It’s a blend of drama and psychological thriller that keeps you on edge. The pacing is quite intentional; at moments, it feels like you’re slipping into her mind, and then suddenly, it jolts you back. The practical effects are striking, adding to the surreal quality of her descent. Performances are nuanced, particularly by the lead, who really captures that fragile state of being. There’s something distinctive about how it tackles themes of identity and obsession, and the animation style, though it was made in 2010, feels incredibly fresh and expressive.
