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
One for anyone looking to switch off and smile and anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A vaudeville entertainer approaches middle age still not having attained success or stardom.
