Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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
- A natural pick for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and anyone who loves a strong drama. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Same wavelength as True Grit.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A self-proclaimed "knight" and his hapless squire travel the Spanish countryside, attacking "giants" that are really windmills in his attempt to win the love of the fair Dulcinea.
