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
A natural pick for people who love relationship stories and book lovers. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Same wavelength as In Cold Blood. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The film tells the story of an old husband Hüsrev and Melek, who was first a servant and then his wife. With this marriage Hüsrev’s subconscious hidden passions are revealed.
