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: One for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off: It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A biopic based on the life of Russian literary critic Vissarion Belinsky (1811–1848). The production of the film was completed in 1951, but it was not released until 1953, following the reshooting of various scenes demanded by Stalin.
