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: A natural pick for history and war-film fans and the curious. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Sits nicely alongside Night and Fog or Shoah.
The mood: Harrowing, eye-opening.
The pace: Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Four young women joined the Resistance to fight Nazi oppression and brutality in occupied France. They were arrested and deported to Ravensbruck concentration camp, where they helped each other to survive. SISTERS IN RESISTANCE captures their recollections and the intense friendship that has survived with them.
