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
Tailor-made for people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone in the mood for a love story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Hairspray or His Girl Friday? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 2 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 31 min.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In the forest, knight-errant Hans meets and falls in love with Ondine, a water-sprite who is attracted to the world of mortal man.
