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 drawn to the darker side of the street and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. A good follow-up to Dial M for Murder or The Killing.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 11 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1929: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A married society woman accidentally kills her would-be lover and blackmailer and then suffers a crisis of conscience when his disgruntled butler is charged with the crime.
