Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon

On the menu this time: superhero gumbo. Grab a bowl and tuck in.

Maintaining the same DIY, indie spirit that made Amirpour’s first feature so dreamy, while offering a pick-up in pace and more cohesive plot than her recherché sophomore effort.

It’s less a story of the supernatural than one about a party on the wrong side of town, with hints of danger, interesting strangers to meet, and an overall cool vibe that even lingers the morning after.

...its deadpan fun is created by playing with genres and audience expectations, while taking care to look good along the way.

A sleazy and neon-soaked ride that splits the difference between a crafty caper and a guilty pleasure, “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon” is the kind of cheeky flick you can’t help but surrender to.
