Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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 with a bit of wanderlust and people who love a true story told well. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Fans of Free Solo or The Dawn Wall should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Exciting, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 47 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Three of the world's best kayakers take a two-month journey to the Scandinavian paddling meccas of Iceland and Norway. While they search inside the arctic circle for rapids and waterfalls that have never been run, they're also searching for the elusive moments when the stars align and everything goes perfectly, but sometimes... in the blink of an eye... things go horribly wrong. The inevitable externalities of their main goal is what they call 'the halo effect'.
