Perfect Blue

CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 8.2

A rising pop star leaves singing to pursue acting, but the pressures of fame and a demanding role begin to fracture her sense of reality. As people around her are murdered and visions of her former self appear, fantasy and paranoia become increasingly difficult to separate.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy unsettling psychological horror, unreliable reality, and dark anime such as Paprika or Paranoia Agent; Not for you if confusing stories or disturbing adult themes are dealbreakers.
