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
If you count yourself among people who love a good growing-up story and history and war-film fans, this one's for you. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

After WWII, Berlin lies in ruins. For Gustav, Willi and their friends the rubble provides an adventurous, dangerous playground. Especially for Gustav, it helps pass the time, as he longs for his father's return from a POW camp. One day a stranger arrives, looking helpless and hopeless.
