Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for a family movie night and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A sad story about a little Japanese girl fighting heavy decease in a Russian summer camp on the Black Sea coast.
