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
Tailor-made for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 55 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Amal and her friend Fatima are happily in love with Ahmed and Dr. Mamdouh respectively. After it is discovered that Amal has a debilitating condition, her father attempts to keep it a secret.
