Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of adventure lovers and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. A good follow-up to The Secret Life of Bees or True Grit.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 53 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Eleven-year old Jason and his companions, including Hercules and Orpheus, go with the ship "Argo" in the search for the Golden Fleece. With wit and cunning to overcome various obstacles until they reach the destination of their fantastic journey. The experiment is not only due to the popularization or naive glorification of a myth, but the search space occupied by fact that the heroes of antiquity were actually very young.
