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
Aimed squarely at people who love a true story told well and music lovers. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. Liked 20 Feet from Stardom or Miss Americana? This is a good next one.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Cássia Eller Rejane. Cássia Eller. Cássia. A powerful restless force on stage, shined herself out of it. One of the greats of Brazilian music, Cássia Eller marked the 1990s and shocked the country with her early death in 2001. A film about the singer, the mother, the woman who exposed her personal life and broke barriers, leaving a beautiful social and artistic legacy.
