Kate Hudson walks the walk in Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon
A girl with unusual powers escapes from a mental asylum and tries to make it on her own in New Orleans.is the latest film from director Ana Lily Amirpour, and it’s tempting to call it. In keeping with Amirpour’s style, it’s the story of a special woman walking through a danger-strewn landscape of society’s low-rung players.
At first, there seems to be a danger that Mona will fall victim to the silent Asian trope, as—like many Amirpour characters—she’s not exactly loquacious. Fortunately, it’s not long before she speaks, and even screams, though she’d rather let her actions do the talking. Saving Hudson’s Bonnie from a parking lot beatdown, she bonds with the first person not to judge her harshly. However, Bonnie is in fact more subtly judging her ... as a potential meal ticket.
The overall plot, though, is less important than the portrait of the city fringes at night, and the people that inhabit the margins. Shot on location in Louisiana, it’s a vivid environment, populated by characters who genuinely seem like they belong, rather than actors who are perfectly cast. Ed Skrein is barely recognizable as a facially tattooed DJ named Fuzz, who seems almost stereotypically menacing until he gradually reveals more layers.
