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.
