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
Right up the alley of crime fans and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Keeps you leaning forward. Same wavelength as Insomnia or Evil Under the Sun.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

On the Italian coast, writer Paul Decker has grown unhappy in his marriage and executes what appears to be a perfect murder of his wife. While Paul is believed to be writing a book in France, his stepdaughter, Candy, suspects him of murdering her mother, as well as her father years before. With the police unwilling to investigate any further, Candy sets out to confirm her suspicions and take Paul down herself.
