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
If you count yourself among music lovers and people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of 12 Angry Men or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 2 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Consistent of only two long shots, three witches predict that Macbeth will ascend to the throne of Scotland. To fulfill this prophecy, Lady Macbeth convinces her husband to murder King Duncan, who has come to spend the night at their home. This crime plunges the new ruler into a macabre spiral that will lead him to sink into guilt and madness.
