Suzume (2022) Review: Closing Doors on a Nation's Grief

Suzume is Makoto Shinkai's anime road movie about a teenager sealing magical doors across Japan, a gorgeous fantasy that turns disaster memory into adventure.

Yes. It is a beautiful, moving anime adventure for teenagers and adults alike, even if its romance is thin and its formula will feel familiar to Shinkai regulars.
