Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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'll be humming afterwards and anyone who likes learning something new. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Cobain: Montage of Heck or The Last Waltz should feel right at home. Very British, in all the best ways.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 49 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The full bizarre, tragic but celebratory story of Syd Barrett, the co-founder of Pink Floyd.
