Review: Scandal strikes an Irish town in ‘God’s Creatures’

‘God’s Creatures’ The stark Irish drama “God’s Creatures” is set in a small fishing village beset by superstition and repetition. Alamo Drafthouse, downtown Los Angeles; Laemmle Royal, West Los Angeles; also available on VOD Kate Hudson, center, and Jeon Jong-seo, right, in the movie “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon.” ‘Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon’ Ana Lily Amirpour’s 2014 debut feature “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” is one of the most critically acclaimed vampire movies of recent years. In Amirpour’s third film, “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon,” the heroine moving through a freaky space is a young Korean woman named Mona Lisa, who in the opening sequence escapes from a New Orleans mental hospital and hits the streets, where she encounters various authority figures and hustlers — including a stripper named Bonnie. In limited theatrical release; also available on VOD Sinead OʼConnor from the documentary “Nothing Compares.” ‘Nothing Compares’ Beginning with the moment when Sinéad O’Connor was booed at Madison Square Garden during a televised Bob Dylan tribute concert, the documentary “Nothing Compares” plunges viewers into the chaos and controversy surrounding a singer who has at times been talked about more than heard. Alamo Drafthouse, downtown Los Angeles; Laemmle Glendale; also available on VOD ‘My Best Friend’s Exorcism’ The wildly inconsistent tones in the horror-comedy “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” keep threatening to derail the movie, though the cast and the story ultimately save the picture.
