Parents need to know that La Luna is a romantic comedy from Malaysia. Violent and scary moments include a snake entering a shop, a woman covered in blood after being beaten by her husband, a man threatening a woman with a gun, and a fire that puts a teenager in danger. Curse words are limited to "assh--e." A character smokes cigarettes in every scene. Sex is implied between couples but nothing sensitive is shown, although women appear in their underwear when they try it on at the shop. The cast and crew are all Malaysian and the film goes back and forth between Malay and English dialogues. In terms of diversity, the ensemble celebrates women of all ages and body sizes and shows them becoming empowered by stepping out of the sexist rules imposed by their community elders. A woman runs away from her abusive husband and refuses to return to him. Positive messages include not judging a book by its cover and the importance of teamwork and compassion for your neighbors and community members.
