A really well done prequel and a great reflection of the time it was written/came out and even currently. I loved how relationships and community is portrayed; great look at healthy and supportive friendships. Great representation as well. I like that it highlighted aspects of resistance not only in the form protests; in this case, art. It doesn't shy away from brutal realities, trauma and morality.
The wrap up was a little too neat but it was great to see the origins of the "angels" and the revolution that changed it all.
