Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is interesting, funny, and flashy by itself, manga and television aside. And there’s something in it for shonen fans of all sorts, replete with the tired trope of teenage boys giggling over their friends’ big boobs while standing right next to her.

Yuta Okkotsu is a nervous student who is suffering from a serious problem—his childhood friend Rika has turned into a curse and won't leave him alone. His plight is noticed by Satoru Gojo, a teacher at Jujutsu High, where fledgling exorcists learn how to combat curses. Gojo convinces Yuta to enroll, but can he learn enough in time to confront the curse that haunts him?

Los Angeles Times by Michael Ordona
The environments are impressively painted. The film’s framing, light, shadow and color are expressive. The creatures are creatively designed and occasionally just bizarre enough to be funny.
Bloody, action-packed and tragicomic all at once, this dazzling coming-of-age tale masterfully contemplates the knotty process of coming to terms with past traumas through a horror-fantasy lens.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manages to work as both a standalone introduction to the anime and also a satisfying prequel to those familiar with this world. With stunning animation, complex and memorable characters, and a healthy dose of horror imagery, this is one of the best shonen anime films in a while.
Like the anime series, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 sometimes feels too much like a Cliffs Notes adaptation, despite also featuring more interaction between the supporting characters and the lead protagonist than the original manga.
