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.

Who'll love it: A natural pick for anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 58 min.
What might put you off: It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Yerma is desperate to have children, so when a psychic advises her to look outside her marriage to conceive, what can she say but yes?
