Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A fairly standard genre exercise, packed with light, detail, color, noise, and motion that add up to relatively little.

rotten:
Tale of the struggle for personal freedom in a futuristic, tyrannical society is light on action by contempo standards, and pic's look is uninteresting, apart from occasionally bizarre backgrounds.

It smoothly blends outrageously diverse visual styles and emotional tones.

Otomo's typically sophisticated script ensures slick pacing, combining humour, terror and pathos, particularly in the final scenes.
