Mona's non-adventures, from her non-romance with Elevator Man (Daniel London) to her non-friendship with a massage therapist whose son finds Mona's wallet, are all splattered with flights of animated whimsy that blend Mona's feminine anxiety with her daddy issues. "Some things have a mind of their own," someone (or some thing) says at one point, possibly one of the narrating animated playing cards, extensions of some childhood game Mona (Lily Rabe) used to play with her deceased father that recalls tic-tac-toe, only instead of Xs and Os you get to fill the grid with whatever the moment calls for—like, say, smiley faces, squiggly lines, horse dongs, engorged vaginas, guns to the head, and exit signs. And you thought Miranda July was twee! Ed Gonzalez
