Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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 anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone interested in what war does to people. Nobody is quite who they seem. Same wavelength as Heroic Losers. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
