- 90IGNRafael MotamayorIGNRafael MotamayorJujutsu 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.
- 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.
- 70Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaLos Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaThe 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.
- 70Paste MagazineJacob OllerPaste MagazineJacob OllerIts predictability is pleasingly colored by countless icky-fun, yokai-inspired curse-monsters.
- 60TheWrapSimon AbramsTheWrapSimon AbramsLike 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.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe plot is convoluted, not the least bit inviting or deep and frankly puerile, with PG-13 violence and “darkness” draped over it.
