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.
