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
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 55 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
The young hero seems the essence of maleness, yet he's troubled by vaguely feminine objects. Soon his masculine and feminine selves are intercut, as each of his identities appears to look and gesture at the other. The film, at once melancholy and transcendent, consists of a shimmering, nearly plotless evocation of gender identity in flux through haunting, densely interlaced images.
