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
- Best for anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and people who love a good family story. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. If you loved The Edge of Seventeen or Harold and Maude, start here. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 54 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Since their parents died at an early age, Susumu and Yoriko have lived together. Susumu is now 33-years-old and Yoriko is 40-years-old. Both of them have yet to marry. They are like most siblings and they rely on each other. One day, Susumu and Yoriko receive a letter that is sent to the wrong address.
