Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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
- If you count yourself among people who'll be humming afterwards and the curious, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years or Michael Jackson's This Is It.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Actor and writer Stephen Fry explores his passion for the world's most controversial composer, Richard Wagner. As a life-long fan can Stephen, who is Jewish and lost family in the Holocaust, salvage Wagner's music from its dark associations with anti-Semitism and Hitler?
