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 love a true story told well and music lovers. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. Same wavelength as Michael Jackson's This Is It.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 2 hr 14 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The Ritchie Blackmore Story traces the long and winding road of the guitar legend — from his early days as a session player (with legendary producer Joe Meek) and his early ’60s combo the Outlaws up through his years guiding one of hard rock’s finest bands, Deep Purple, and into his recent work with Blackmore’s Night.
