Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no 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
- Tailor-made for people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone who likes corsets, castles and court intrigue. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to The Dark Crystal. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1932: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
In this mythical fantasy, the evil queen of Atlantis lives in a magnificent palace, the halls of which are filled with the mummified remains of former lovers.
