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 fans of small-town stories and anyone who loves a strong drama. A place where gossip travels faster than the plot. Shelve it next to Small Things Like These.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

June Lorich works at the Mesabi Mine on Minnesota's iron range. After an emotionally and physically abusive marriage, June is determined to make it on her own. But the worsening steel industry forces major cutbacks and June is bumped down to an all-male pit. She becomes the brunt of the other workers' hostilities and is forced to fight against them -- and the man she loves -- to save her job.
