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
One for history and war-film fans and people who like stories about real, flawed people. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Sits nicely alongside Fury or The Guns of Navarone. Very British, in all the best ways.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 26 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

During World War II, teenage boys in a small English town are consumed with jingoism and brutal war games, hoping dearly that the war won't end before they can fight in it.
