    ★★★☆☆ OUT NOW CINEMAS

    Adding context to popular, this prequel explores the history of main character Tohru’s (Laura Bailey) parents. But with all the original fantasy elements stripped out, it offers a simpler melodrama steeped in romantic reflection. Following a recap of the three-season show, there is an ick factor to overcome as the film unapologetically depicts dispassionate 19-year-old student-teacher Katsuya (J. Michael Tatum) courting vulnerable 14-year-old Kyoko (Lydia Mackay). However, an acute focus on relatable detail and ruminations on the nature of love and grief make for powerful viewing.
