Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
Best for history and war-film fans and book lovers. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved Schindler's List or The Guns of Navarone, start here. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 5 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Television film about people who are actively involved in the Slovak national uprising in 1944. A screen adaptation of the novel by Rudo Moritz in 1951.
