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. Read full review

Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon solidifies Amirpour’s reputation as a master of subversion. Read full review

Mona Lisa’s story is at first bizarre, and then tense, and then genuinely moving as the escapee figures out what she actually wants from the outside world. Read full review

This is a midnight movie/B-movie-type work that knows exactly what it is––there’s no pretensions of “elevated horror” here. Mona Lisa is smart, politically aware, and reaffirms a bit of faith in Amirpour’s talent. Read full review

Mona Lisa and The Blood Moon is a tightrope of horror, revenge, and feminism set to awesome music. Read full review

Amirpour takes on the Big Easy, mixing a heady cocktail of EDM beats, Hollywood treacle and southern sleaze and sipping down Bourbon Street. Read full review

The movie, more often than not, has the look and feel of an edgy music video, which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if it weren’t also oddly boring. Read full review

I'm very split on this movie. It's definitely my least favorite of the other two Amirpour movies that I've seen (The Bad Batch, A Girl Walk Home Alone at Night). Not much depth to the plot or the characters, the pacing is sort of meh, and given the particular subject matter I would haveI'm very split on this movie. It's definitely my least favorite of the other two Amirpour movies that I've seen (The Bad Batch, A Girl Walk Home Alone at Night). Not much depth to the plot or the characters, the pacing is sort of meh, and given the particular subject matter I would have preferred the ending to have a bit more of an explanation or resolution to it. It did have some pretty good visuals at times and pretty good acting especially by Kate Hudson. If you really like Amirpour's other films than this one is probably worth watching at least once, it definitely won't feel like a total waste of time, but ultimately it's much more forgettable than her other movies.… Expand

What a terrible movie. Bad script, poor over-the-top acting that made no sense, terrible storyline if you can find one. Just a total waste of money.
