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.

Who'll love it: One for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who likes knowing it really happened. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. Sits nicely alongside Free Solo or Touching the Void. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood: Exciting, eye-opening.
The pace: Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The Great Alone is a feature length independent documentary film that tells the inspiring comeback story of Iditarod Champion Lance Mackey.
