Review of Paprika

Definitely the most overwhelmed I've been in a movie. It's so creative, the editing is top notch, it's the most mind-bending thing I've ever seen, the score and sound design is great and it uses animation so thoroughly and wildly that there is no way I wouldn't love it. But maybe it was too confusing. I found myself trying to figure out what was going on a bit too much where I couldn't get invested in the characters. It felt more like a fun puzzle than a story. I wasn't emotionally invested in the slightest and I'm not really sure what the movie was tryingto be or if was even trying to say anything. I love it for the visuals, the editing and the unfiltered creativity, but not his best work. Perfect Blue did it better. Maybe I'll change my opinion on the fifth rewatch or something.
