COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Concept, Poor Execution submitted by davidgamgee on July 19, 2015, 11:23am This film is trying to freak you out and will likely succeed. It's odd, and it prioritizes it's odd intensity over its plot, characters, and audience. It was weird, it was fun; It wasn't for kids.

PS: TRIGGER WARNING

Strange submitted by majean on August 16, 2018, 8:38pm Not a straight forward film.

Amazing submitted by anacoluthon on August 17, 2018, 2:39am I love Satoshi Kon's work, and this movie is another masterpiece. Dreams and reality become indistinguishable, backed by a stellar soundtrack.
