What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

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 Oct 18, 2022 Full Review 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 Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times A thriller of striking colors and compelling characters. Rated: 3/4 Oct 1, 2022 Full Review Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews Amirpour’s penchant for drifting, meandering stories is enticing here, aided by her use of supernatural elements and characters with strong personalities. And its Day-Glo aesthetic may be gaudy, but it is also vivid, hypnotic and unlike anything else. Rated: 4/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis 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. Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury 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.

Bradford B Much more fun and optimistic than you might think. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/22 Full Review Vito P Amirpour's antiheroes arouse empathy, always deeply embedded in an underground and pop context, here very colourful and in a crescendo with music, neon light, psychedelic references. A beautiful experience, captivating and bittersweet in just the right way. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Arthur S Lotta questions few answers but I enjoyed the ride. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review chip a Very enjoyable. Well worth a Saturday night popcorn fest. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Marcelo U I think, this movie gains a lot for its soundtrack and setting. the rest is different. It is not merely not credible, but it is also the plot is very trivial. Most of the characters lack charisma, and you cannot empathize with them. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Dani G Good or not so good, but always interesting to watch Amirpour's film proposals Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
