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: Right up the alley of anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A girl from a boarding school finds a baby and has to keep it because she seems to be the real mother to everyone.
