Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, 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
One for people who'll be humming afterwards and book lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Wicked or Cyrano should feel right at home. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Tense, emotional (bring tissues).
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 51 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A man becomes part of a secret society of people who live in a department store and quickly falls in love with their leader’s young maid.
