Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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 western fans and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about. If you loved True Grit or The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 9 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1917: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A judge who had taken part in the gold rush of 1849 hires an acting troupe to recreate the experience in this rather fanciful silent Western. The make-believe turns serious when a real gold mine is discovered nearby and a local girl is kidnapped by a nasty gambler.
