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
One for anyone who loves a will-they-won't-they and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. The chemistry carries it. A good follow-up to Materialists.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

In an isolated mountain resort, a woman gets involved in a love triangle between herself, her volatile lover and her ex-boyfriend, for whom she had platonic feelings.
