Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With rough reviews and little 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
One for history and war-film fans and people who love a true story told well. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Fans of The Last Waltz or The Sound of Music should feel right at home.
The mood
Intense, eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG: peril. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Peter Gabriel is among the rockstars performing the music of Lennon and McCartney against a montage of World War II newsreel footage.
