Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone interested in what war does to people and people who like stories about real, flawed people. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 3 hr 10 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 3 hr 10 min.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The bitter Trojan War drags on - the Greeks blame Achilles' apathy for low morale, while Troy's hero Hector challenges one of the enemy to a personal duel. And after her father exchanges Cressida for a Trojan prisoner, the war becomes personal for her distraught lover Troilus.
