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
Right up the alley of people who love a true story told well and music lovers. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. Fans of Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or Stop Making Sense should feel right at home.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Fictional film with documentary elements about a jazz musician in Berlin.
