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.

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at history and war-film fans and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Sits nicely alongside Phoenix or The Zone of Interest. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 17 min.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A biography of Hildegard Knef, one of Germany's biggest post-war stars.
