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: Best for people who need a good giggle and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Easy company after a long day.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

During the summer of 1968, Leon, a 10-year-old boy, navigates the hardships of young love, his lunatic mother's whims, and his urges to vandalize the house of his neighbors.
