Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Especially for fans who understand how movies are put together, Paprika grabs you from the get-go in a series of flowing images and transitions that follow the skewed logic of a dream, jumping from a three-ring circus to a swinging jungle vine.

Is it sci-fi? Fantasy? Idiocy? Mostly it's a droning mess -- pretty to look at but confounding to the point where you just don't care any more.

You could sit through the film two or three times to nail down the details of the story, but the film isn't interesting enough to warrant a second look.

When there's this much spice and food for thought on one plate, how are you expected to taste anything at all?

With a conventional invade-dreams/bend-reality plot, it's a bit of a bore.
