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 crime fans and romantics. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Sits nicely alongside True Romance or Love Lies Bleeding.
The mood
Gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Pretty Joy and her friend come to Moscow to shoot a commercial. A taxi driver, who recruits girls for an underground organization run by a distant descendant of Rasputin, suggests they visit the Rasputin Museum. During the tour, the girls are hypnotized by the evil character, who hypnotizes his victims before using their charms to seduce the rich tourists.
