Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who can't resist a good whodunit and people who like their stories with a little danger. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked Sherlock: The Abominable Bride? This is a good next one.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Long and immersive, at 2 hr 52 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 52 min.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

An exciting drama from a detective history. In 1899 a dead girl - seamstress Anežka Hrůzová - was found between the village of Věžnička and the town of Polná. She was 19 and she had a cutting wound on the throat. There was no sexual violence involved and since the local doctors thought that there was not enough blood on the crime scene, everyone jumped to the conclusion that Jews must have killed her and added her blood to their passover matzot. There was a potential murderer at hand too - a cheeky, not very bright young Jewish rover, Leopold Hilsner…
