"Elle Fanning shows once again that she is not only immensely beautiful, but also immensely talented. Her performance is a true tour de force that could very well catapult her directly to the A-list." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone


"Perfect Blue is a film with some strong ideas about identity and celebrity, but it gets caught up in its own style and sometimes forgets about its substance." - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects


"Director Mark Pellington has been away from the thriller genre for a while, but he certainly hasn't missed a beat. Here he has directed a tense, vivid film reminiscent of the best works of Brian De Palma." - Samuel O'Brien, Sight and Sound Magazine
