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
Best for people who love a good growing-up story and anyone who's survived a family wedding. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Fans of Casablanca or The Magnificent Ambersons should feel right at home. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In Tangiers where he traveled for his work, a man finds the woman he loved, and attempts to revive their romance though it ended some 30 years earlier.
