Many things to love about this, extremely peculiar. On this rewatch I'll settle on absolutely loving the movie references and cinema theme
I didn’t understand half of the movie, I would definitely watch it again, I still think it’s so good also l love Madhouse movies
Inception before Inception, every scene is a trip
Beautiful and unique, but sometimes it gets too much like a lame anime show (the long opening credits especially). Story is a little muddled
Great watch. Not my favorite of Kon's work, but one of my favorite movies.
Such a dazzling, creative and exhilarating story with lots of charm, imagination and wonderful animation.
Great plot with some of the best editing ever seens on film.
Kon doing what Kon does best. What's real and what's a dream are constantly blurred together to excellent effect.
The line between dream and reality is reaaaaal blurry! I liked this one! Very colorful and surreal with a happy ending.
Very original, keeps you engaged throughout. Incredible art style. Not even remotely normal, but I loved it.
