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
Right up the alley of anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and book lovers. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true. Same wavelength as Schindler's List or Killers of the Flower Moon. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The film about the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, based on the novel 'The Yellow Prince' by Vasyl Barka. The film is told through the lives of the Katrannyk family of six. It relies more on images than on words shot in black-and-white.
