Suzume is a story about finding closure and national trauma, specifically referencing Japan's 3/11 earthquake. The animation and soundtrack are absolutely stunning. I loved the style and feel of Shinkai's previous movies and Suzume did not disappoint. However, the narrative felt convoluted, the characters bland, and somehow the main character develops romantic feelings for a chair.
