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: Made for people who love a good family story and anyone who wants something that moves them. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here. A good follow-up to Manchester by the Sea or The Glass Castle. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The emotional journey of a four-member family that fails to recognize that it is rapidly growing apart until the mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer.
