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.

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 14 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Drama about the difficult relationship between a former wrestler, his wife and their adopted children.
