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
One for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and anyone who loves a strong drama. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Dutch, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Armin is in crisis. One fateful day he discovers he is infertile and has been throughout his life. From this he discovers his first wife, Monika, was unfaithful before she died. How else could she have the child that Armin always thought was his? His paranoia drives him to find the truth.
