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
Right up the alley of anyone who likes knowing it really happened and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Fans of Capote or A Beautiful Mind should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A Mother is devastated when her sailor son is murdered by two of his crewmates in a homophobic attack.
