      Newsweek

      It happens to be one of the most wildly (and disturbingly) inventive animated films I've seen.

      The New Yorker

      The brilliant Paprika, directed by Satoshi Kon--a masterly example of Japanese anime, intended for adults--is partly hand drawn, and features multiple areas of visual activity layered at different distances from the picture plane.

      The New York Times

      A gorgeous riot of future-shock ideas and brightly animated imagery, the doors of perception never close.

      Premiere

      Paprika ain't no kiddie 'toon, even if its thumpin' techno-pop and bubble-gum thrills have the same splashy palette as an episode of "Pokémon" or "Dragon Ball Z."

      Rolling Stone

      Fiercely provocative, Paprika shames Hollywood’s use of animation as a kiddie pacifier.

      It's a great place to visit, even if you wouldn't want to live there.

      New York Post

      I can't claim to have followed the story line of Paprika any better than I did "Pirates of the Caribbean," but this mind-blowing, adult animated adventure from Japan is half the length and maybe five times as much fun.

      It is an intelligently written piece that only falters during the finale.
