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
Aimed squarely at anyone who likes corsets, castles and court intrigue and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. If you loved Great Expectations or The Young Victoria, start here. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1926: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

An actress becomes the king's mistress and persuades him to convert the palace to a serviceman's home.
