Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and a box office loss, 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 anyone in the mood for a love story and families. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to The Secret Life of Bees or Imitation of Life.
The mood
Warm and romantic, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 2 hr 10 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Zhang Ziyi plays the youngest of three generations of women who leads lives in Shanghai. Joan Chen plays the great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother. The film recounts this family, the mistakes they make, and a cycle that the granddaughter breaks out of.
