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
Made for armchair detectives and people who like their stories with a little danger. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Same wavelength as The Maltese Falcon or Shadow of a Doubt. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 1 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1942: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A detective investigates the mysterious death of a young actress.
