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 anyone looking for a holiday tradition and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Made to be watched with the tree lit. If you loved Eyes Wide Shut or It's a Wonderful Life, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

It is Christmas Eve. Separated from her young son, Helly struggles for money. A solitary man, Didier pays her to play his fiancée for the night. But the act comes to a tragic end. Left stunned, Helly meets Marie, who takes her in, on her way to the coast. There they encounter Chris. All three will end the night together. It’s their last move in joy and perdition.
