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
- If you count yourself among sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. Sits nicely alongside Beast.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A young rising boxer is torn between choosing two women to be with in his life, a hooker and a TV star, both of whom join forces to make him be dependent on one forever.
