Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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
Aimed squarely at anyone who's ever talked to their pet and people who like stories about real, flawed people. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1922: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Tom's father, Barry, lives at a lonely trading post up north and is constantly in fear the post's factor, who has threatened to turn him in to the Mounted Police for a murder committed many years before.
