Critics Consensus

Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon finds writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour spinning a stylishly lurid -- if somewhat narratively undercooked -- fantasy yarn.

Quiero decir que me gusto pero la verdad es que tampoco tanto jajaja. Lo único bueno que tiene es que es impredecible y no se sabe para adonde va a ir la historia, lo malo es que desperdicia casi todas las oportunidades que tiene para mejorar y termina siendo una película olvidable mas del montón.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Trama poco originale e soprattutto molto sfruttata negli ultimi anni ma che viene salvata da alcuni personaggi interessanti e fuori dagli schemi, che riescono a dare un tocco di originalità al film. A metà tra commedia ed azione, sorprende invece il finale sicuramente abbastanza impattante in termini di emozioni. Ed Skrein più di tutti riesce a dare un tocco di pazzia non banale senza sembrare forzato. Molto positivo l'uso dei colori e della fotografia; visivamente notevole.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

How rare is it to see a film that is almost completely unpredictable? Refreshing, well-acted, with welcome flashes of humor, this was a very fun watch.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I found the movie to be both funny and entertaining. The story line was good as was the acting. Quite good for a low budget movie.

David Stratton

The Australian

The music score, by Daniele Luppi, is particularly fine while the cinematography, by Pawel Pogorzelski, is constantly impressive as the backstreets of New Orleans are transformed into a kind of garish hell on earth.

Rated: 4/5

Paul Byrnes

Sydney Morning Herald

It’s a film with attitude, rather than passion, a series of lifeless tableaux in front of a conventional sin-city backdrop. If Amirpour wanted to send a message, it got lost in her ennui.

Rated: 2/5

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon may be lacking in terms of substance, but Hudson’s performance is nearly enough to be worth tuning in for. It’s thrilling to see her absolutely thrive in a role that is so against type.

Deadline Hollywood Daily

It’s all nonsense, obviously, but fun nonsense. Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon is made to be watched while scoffing crunchy snack foods and beer, if only because a lot of chips and beer go down on screen between bouts of telekinetic mayhem.

Battleship Pretension

Like Carrie White before her, Mona Lisa lashes out not just at those who hurt her but at anyone in her way. But Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon lacks the humanity to acknowledge the difference.
