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
Made for fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who loves a strong drama. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

This story shows the two different parts of acting. The father is a strong, ambitious and inconsiderate actor but his son (Tibor) is a sensitive one. This all takes part somewhere in Hungary when socialism "controlled" the country.
