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
Best for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. If you loved Richard Jewell or Midnight Express, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Two intertwined families, one American, one Mexican, and their fight to save three year old illegal Angelina from deportation.
