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 anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and spy-story fans. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. If you loved The Breakfast Club or Eighth Grade, start here. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

It is the summer of 1984 in Schmalenstedt, in the middle of Holstein Switzerland, directly on the Baltic Sea. The 17-year-old Malte Ahrens, who calls himself Roddy Dangerblood, lives with his elderly parents in a farmhouse, is trained as a potter and has discovered for himself the punk that has made its way into Schmalenstedt with some delay.
