Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for people who can't resist a good whodunit and fans of newsroom stories. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. A good follow-up to The Secret in Their Eyes or The Long Goodbye. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
The mood
Funny with heart, tense.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Veronica, recently divorced with a son, begins to organize her life and adapt to the new situation. Her problems are soon relegated to the back ground when Carlos, her masseuse, is murdered. Knowing himself in danger, Carlos left a final message on her answering machine: she had to retrieve a package hidden in a railway station toilet. From that moment, Veronica will not know peace.
