In Mona Lisa and The Blood moon, Ana Lily Amirpour (A girl Walks home Alone at Night) creates a superhero horror show powered by technology that captures the atmosphere of a horrible rave and much more. The soundtrack, which is flawless up until the final credit, is the true star of the movie. This New Orleans-set fever dream gains a totally new dimension of world-building thanks to supporting performances from well-known actors who step outside of their comfort zones. The finished product, which Amirpour films with the vivacity of a 2010 Terrence Malick, is as interesting as it is focused.

Mona Lisa (Jeon Jong-seo) uses her thoughts alone to break free from the constraints of a mental institution. She simply cannot speak after leaving, so she goes to street hustler Fuzz because she has nowhere else to go (Ed Skrein). Mona Lisa leaves after acquiring what she wants from him and heads toward a diner. She protects her future buddy Bonnie (Kate Hudson) while badly hurting her opponent in a misguided attempt to break up a brawl. Bonnie begins to take advantage of Mona Lisa when she sees how strong she is, and the two embark on a robbery rampage where they hypnotise as many men as they can into giving them as much money as they can.

Charlie (Evan Whitten), Bonnie's abandoned son, ultimately realises that Mona Lisa is being misused. He develops a closeness with Mona Lisa that eventually surpasses his relationship with his mother. Officer Harold (Craig Robinson), the only police officer with the guts to investigate a supernatural crime, is currently hot on the trail of Mona Lisa, Bonnie, and Charlie.

Another brilliant decision was the casting for the movie. One would assume Craig Robinson, a former cast member of The Office, is underqualified for or cast as comic relief when he is placed in a non-comedic part. These assumptions are defied in the movie Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon. It requires a great deal of confidence and flawless execution, and Amirpour does not let us down. The music is what propels Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon. Blazing electronic melodies on the soundtrack induce a frightful trance. Daniele Luppi's score and the movie's soundtrack are the ideal complements to one another thanks to Joe Rudge's selection of music. Every scenario resembles the conclusion of a party that one ought to have left hours earlier.

Although Amirpour's third film isn't perfect, it contains many characteristics that have come to define her unique style: a fantastic soundtrack, actors playing characters they haven't before, and a female lead on a perilous mission, to name a few. With her brilliant performance in Burning, Jeon Jong-seo astounded American viewers, and she builds on that goodwill as the main character in Amirpour's film. The tightrope of horror, retaliation, and feminism in Mona Lisa and The Blood moon is supported by fantastic music.
