Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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: Best for anyone interested in what war does to people and people who love a true story told well. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved For Sama or 20 Days in Mariupol, start here.
The mood: Intense, eye-opening.
The pace: Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 15 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Filmmaker Sabina Vajraca documents her Bosnian Muslim family's return to their home of Banja Luka, Bosnia, to recover their stolen belongings many years after being forced to flee to the United States. In Bosnia, they witness the devastation of the city, visit war crimes sites, and confront the family that has been living in their former apartment -- with all their furnishings -- for a decade.
