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
Made for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Soaked in 1970s atmosphere.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A mental patient in a psychiatric hospital is escorted into an operating room, where electrodes are attached to her scalp. The doctors dissect his brain and we enter the brain with a loud, jarring cry. In this space detached from reality, a group of actors perform elaborate interpretive dances. They jump, land on top of each other, place their hands on their bodies and form various shapes.
