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
Aimed squarely at people who'll be humming afterwards and the curious. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved The Last Waltz, start here.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Appearing with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were guest musicians Joe Walsh, Gary Clark, Jr., Stevie Wonder, The Eurythmics, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Dave Grohl, Katy Perry, Peter Frampton, and more.
