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.

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Pollyanna or Lilies of the Field, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off: It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1962: an older pace and style.

Desperate because of his son's illness, the peasant Eufemio steals a pearl from the image of Santa Lucía in the village church.
