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: Made for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and people who like stories about real, flawed people. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Shelve it next to Beast.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Set in the 1980s, Dom is a teenager who finds himself drawn into the charismatic world of football 'casuals,influenced by the firm's top boy, Bex. Accepted by the gang for his fast mouth and sense of humor, Dom soon becomes one the boys. But as Bex and his gang clash with rival firms across the country and the violence spirals out of control, Dom realizes he wants out - until he learns it's not that easy to simply walk away.
