Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

A 30-year-old widower realizes that his three children need a mother figure. His youngest daughter feels lonely and finds it hard to cope with schooling. He scouts around for a tutor for his daughter, someone who could also act as her playmate and friend. The lady who arrives -- a cheerful singer and tutor -- brings light to their home lives.
