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 people who'll be looking things up afterwards and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Sits nicely alongside Mr. Turner.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Ponzi, from his arrival in Boston in 1903, to hi death in Rio in 1949. He made himself famous in inventing the first fraud of modern times on a large scale, and inspired Bernard Madoff.
