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
If you count yourself among anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight, this one's for you. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Shelve it next to Laura or Obsession.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A woman suffers from amnesia after killing her husband, who was just about to demand a divorce for having found her engaging in an affair with a lover, who is only interested in her to find where some precious jewels are hidden.
