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
Great for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A young man completing an assignment for his film class invites Marieda, a middle-aged woman, over to his aunt's house to rehearse for a drama she believes they will eventually record. But she doesn't realize that she is being videotaped since her arrival.
