Suzume is 90 minutes of merch-tie-in with a story bolted on as a legal afterthought.
“Even the credits needed a rewrite.”

Suzume confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Suzume.

Suzume is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Suzume?
Honestly, Suzume would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Suzume is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Suzume performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in Suzume is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Suzume. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Suzume?
Just got out of Suzume and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
