Review of Suzume
I don't know if Makoto Shinkai has really been making peak fiction all this time but I'm excited to check out more of his work, especially Your Name. Suzume is beautiful in every way imaginable, the story, the characters, the writing, and especially in how it looks. They did not waste any potential material to be used over a guy turned into a freaking chair. This film transition so damn smoothly between a slow and fast paced sequences. This combined with how magnificent the movie looks and how outrageous and chaotic the scenarios was, it made for an intensely exhilirating experience. Every characters are so wellwritten, and it even did really good with the humor as well, including the one involving chairs of all things. Its also got a lot of strong emotional values, with the emotional scenes really makes you wish that things came out alright. And don't forget that even the voice acting is top-notch in all department, making these scenes even more impactful, as if it hadn't been that way because of the visuals and the story weight.
I'm holding back on the 5 stars for this movie at the moment, until I checked out more of Makoto Shinkai's work. This rating might get boosted soon, because this movie is just that damned good.
