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
One for people who can't resist a good whodunit and people ready for a good cry. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked Brooklyn or Out of Africa? This is a good next one. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama.
The mood
Emotional (bring tissues), warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1934: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A young couple struggling against poverty must keep their marriage a secret in order for the husband to keep his job, as his boss doesn't like to hire married men.
