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
One for anyone looking to switch off and smile and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Tribute to the actor Boris Andreyev. He plays a major role that keeps up for the duration of the film. Lively and intelligent Valery Spout largely mitigates underline the drama of the protagonist, while Michael Sveta's role, though small, is bright and memorable.
