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: Great for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and romantics. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. If you loved Gone with the Wind or Doctor Zhivago, start here. The chemistry carries it.
The mood: Warm and romantic.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 59 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Made in 1917: an older pace and style.
Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Revolutionary War heroine Betsy Ross finds herself in competition with her sister for the affections of a British soldier.
