Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no 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 people who'll be looking things up afterwards and people who like to watch through their fingers. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Same wavelength as Let Me In.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 16 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Based on the real life story of Sagawa, a Japanese student who killed, dismembered and ate a young Dutch girl in Paris.
