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: Right up the alley of western fans and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Fans of Shane or News of the World should feel right at home.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

An American brother and sister move to Australia to manage a cattle station, but the brother's racist attitude causes problems. After hearing a message by evangelist Billy Graham on the radio though, he has a change of heart and learns to accept the Aboriginal people.
