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
- Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Liked The Magnificent Ambersons? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
