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
One for people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone looking to switch off and smile. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of 12 Angry Men or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? should feel right at home. Very British, in all the best ways.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 24 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A new ice age is coming to England. All energy sources have been depleted and despair is taking over the earth. The young king decides to use his last trump card before his power collapses and anarchy reigns over the island kingdom.
