Makoto Shinkai's Suzume: How to Watch

Written and directed by Makoto Shinkai for ComiX Wave Films, Suzume is now making its way through theaters in the United States and other territories. You can check out ComicBook.com's own review of Suzume here and see just how well Shinkai hits the mark with his latest effort. As for what to expect from the story in Shinkai's newest movie, Suzume is teased as such:

"On the other side of the door, was time in its entirety—17-year-old Suzume's journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu when she encounters a young man who tells her, 'I'm looking for a door.' What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe struck. Seemingly mesmerized by its power, Suzume reaches for the knob…Doors begin to open one after another all across Japan, unleashing destruction upon any who are near. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disaster.

The stars
The sunset
The morning sky

Within that realm, it was as though all time had melted together in the sky—

Drawn in by this mysterious door, Suzume's journey is about to begin." How are you feeling about Suzume getting certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes?
