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
Tailor-made for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and history buffs. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Shelve it next to Nuremberg or Chariots of Fire.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A true story about Johann Georg Elser, a quiet carpenter who tried to assassinate Hitler with an explosive device in 1939.
