ENIGMATIC AND IMAGINATIVE JOURNEY

May 28, 2023
THE CREATORS OF THIS FILM DISPLAYED A LOT OF IMAGINATION WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH THE STORY LINE FOR THIS FILM, AND I WAS VERY HAPPY TO TAKE THAT JOURNEY WITH THEM. IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A SCI-FI VERSION OF "NANCY DREW." AND THE CHARACTER OF SUZUME TURNED OUT TO BE JUST AS GOOD A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG WOMEN AS NANCY. AND THE SCENE BETWEEN SUZUME AND HER YOUNGER SELF TOWARDS THE END WAS MORE TOUCHING THAN ANYTHING YOU WOULD FIND IN "NANCY DREW" (OR "THE HARDY BOYS").
