Review of Suzume

Finally, there is an HD version with clear sound. What I want to say is that it was visually appealing and undoubtedly a good film. However, there were certain points in this film that were quite similar to some scenes in Shinkai's previous films. Overall, it is still beautiful to witness another one of his films. One thing I noticed while watching is that the beginning felt rushed, like putting an egg in an unheated pan and waiting for it to heat up. This might be just my opinion, but it really felt rushed to me. That's why the story from the present and the leadingstory were mostly the highlights. And of course, towards the end, some people, including myself, felt like the ending was lacking and not satisfying enough.

I suppose this is just my perspective as a viewer. Some may find this film a 10/10, but for me, it's something that left me satisfied enough after watching it. It's probably worth giving a clean score rating of 8/10.

If you're a fan like I am of Shinkai's films, I encourage you to give it a try. It's a really good film, and to encourage you further, I almost cried for the main character before the end, but it stopped. Haha! So, this should be enough to convince you to watch the film and form your own judgment.
