Suzume (PG) Film Review from LondonNet

The fate of Japan rests in the hands of a gifted and determined teenager in an animated fantasy written and directed by celebrated Japanese filmmaker Makoto Shinka, whose previous work includes Your Name and Weathering With You. Seventeen-year-old high school student Suzume Iwato (voiced by Nanoka Hara) is blessed with the ability to see supernatural forces, which are invisible to classmates and other residents of Kyushu, including her aunt Tamaki (Eri Fukatsu)…

Suzume encounters a mysterious young man called Sota Munakata (Hokuto Matsumura), who claims to be on a mission to prevent an other-worldly entity from causing massive earthquakes that could destroy Japan. The teenager becomes entangled in Sota’s antics, which require them to harness the power of magical totems before pandemonium spreads across the country. Suzume is released in the UK as the original Japanese version with subtitles and an English language dubbed edition.

Suzume screens to our critic on Tuesday. Check back later in the week for our full review.
