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.
