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
Right up the alley of history and war-film fans and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to The Guns of Navarone or Devotion.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 4 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Second Lieutenant Han Sang-yeol leads his platoon during the Korean War in the early 1950s. He carries emotional scars and pain within. So when he meets some children from a choir, who have lost everything in the war, Sang-yeol is deeply moved and tries to protect to them.
