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
One for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

East Berlin, late 1970s: Because she doesn't really have any particular career aspirations, Marta becomes a nurse. And since true love is a long time coming, the 17-year-old seduces Monty, the young man next door. Then there are her parents' marital problems. Marta is in the middle of the exciting trials of growing up.
