Taking Mona

"TAKING MONA has a great concept of truly grand historic value. A true life story that has somehow gone missing from the modern zeitgeist for far too long. At play is a crystal clear delineation between multiple timelines, rendering a fractured series of events with stark clarity, which is a rare quality."
