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 enjoy a knot in their stomach. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Sits nicely alongside Gone Girl or Witness for the Prosecution.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Patrick and Elizabeth Welsh seem to have the perfect family…but their idyllic life is rocked when Patrick is charged with embezzlement. Months later, he leaves a suicide note and is presumed dead. Ten years later, Elizabeth and their two sons are astonished that the authorities are claiming that he is still alive. It isn't long before Elizabeth learns the shocking truth about the man she thought she knew.
