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
Tailor-made for anyone who likes corsets, castles and court intrigue and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. A good follow-up to Zulu or The Last of the Mohicans.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Long and immersive, at 2 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 31 min.
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Passionate romance, brutal treachery, and selfless nobility are set against the background of Napoleon’s 1810 invasion of Portugal.
