Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon

Parents need to know that Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon is an atmospheric mystery-thriller with comedic and fantasy elements, very strong language, sexual references, and some bloody violence. Central character Mona (Jeon Jong-Seo) is a young girl with special powers, who escapes captivity from a mental health facility and tries to survive in New Orleans. She stands up for people who can't defend themselves, but is vulnerable and prone to violence. Like many of the characters she has strong survival instincts, but is occasionally selfish to try and achieve this goal. The exception is Officer Harold (Craig Robinson), who wants to track down Mona and protect her. The Violence is occasional and is often played for comic effect, although there are still some bloody injuries, none of which are fatal. In contrast, the language is constant and occasionally very strong, with several uses of "f--k" and a couple of "c--t." Sex is referenced rather than shown, but there are discussions about intercourse, oral sex, and ejaculation. Drinking and smoking feature intermittently, with one scene where characters drink to excess and some where characters smoke marijuana rather than cigarettes.
