"In Paprika, a gorgeous riot of future-shock ideas and brightly animated imagery, the doors of perception never close."
New York Times
"Fiercely provocative, Paprika shames Hollywood's use of animation as a kiddie pacifier."
Rolling Stone
"Paprika, while certainly not suitable for kids, manages to capture the childlike, helter-skelter chaos and curiosity of the human mind better than any other animated film."
