Film 46 (Goal: 300) of 2024 This was a real surprise. I went in with near to no expectations off the synopsis and loved it more and more as it went along. There's nothing new here but I was enjoying everything I was watching. Jung Jong-seo was a revelation here and I hope to see her in more things moving forward. Kate Hudson is good in a different role for her, though sometimes the writing lets her down. There's a great selection of music that adds atmosphere to the film. Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon has a synthwave, neon vibe that against the party atmosphere of New Orleans, is a character of it's own.

A super stylish, fun, charming comedy/crime thriller with a healthy dose of supernatural elements. I was honestly expecting this to be a bit more complex, it's instead an unexpectedly straightforward, lighthearted, heartwarming, style-over-substance film. Leaning towards the comedy aspect but still delivers some engaging drama and thrills. Striking cinematography and colorful visuals make this an absolute joy to watch with equally colorful characters and soundtrack that only make it more endearing. Jong-Seo delivers an incredible performance as a mysterious lead.

Delightfully off beat it plays more like a dark comedy, coming of age, buddy movie. Really worth the watch.

This might be one of my new favorite movies

I absolutely adore this movie. So sweet in so many ways…
