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 anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and romantics. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true. A good follow-up to The Magnificent Ambersons.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 3 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 3 hr.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

An old-fashioned love story set in the South Wales valleys during the 1930s. Well-to-do doctor Andrew joins his father's infirmary, and in miner's daughter Bethan finds a spirit lacking in his previous girlfriends. The two fall in love, but their differing backgrounds prove a major sticking point.
