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
- Great for anyone who loves an underdog and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Shelve it next to Senna. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Lionel Rose, Australia's first Aboriginal world champion boxing hero - the man behind the myth
