Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who likes learning something new. Expect to bring it up in conversation afterwards.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A candid-camera view of professional wrestling as seen in the Montréal Forum, where some of the biggest bouts are staged, and in back-street wrestling parlours where the warriors practice their art.
