Suzume (2022, Japan)

Director & Writer: Makoto Shinkai

Mini-review:

Makoto Shinkai has definitely found his stride. He just excels at making these visually stunning movies that pack quite an emotional punch. It's true that his stories are rather predictable by now, but this one has enough refreshing elements to make it fully engaging, like the road-movie vibes that permeate the plot. Also, I really liked that the film went straight to the point right away, cause it hooks you from the beginning. And of course, the visuals are nothing short of awe-inspiring, but I expected no less of this director. If there's one thing I didn't like, that would be the age gap between the leads. The story would have worked just as well (or even better) if the characters had been the same age. But still, Suzume more than met my expectations, and I'll be looking forward to Shinkai's future works.
