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 love a story where everyone knows everyone and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). The small-town setting is half the character. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Carl and Jessie are half siblings who feel trapped by the existential and economic pressures of living in the small mining town of Canaan, Ohio. Their shared rebellion soon takes on the form of an illicit love affair depicted in interwoven sequences of lusty poeticism and ethnographic vérité. When Jessie becomes pregnant, the tension between the couple’s youthful vitality and the dire realities of rural society leads to consequences both despairing and hopeful.
