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
Best for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Liked American Beauty? This is a good next one.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1948: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Accepting the potentialities of the medium to manipulate both time and space, Broughton brings past and present head-on as he regards with adult feelings his childhood family and friends. Grown-ups romp like children, and by their magnified infantilism playfully underscore such basic traits as sadism, sensuality, arid egocentricity. (Melbourne International Film Festival)
