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
- Great for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. A good follow-up to Maestro.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 37 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Juan Gabriel became one of the most popular Mexican singer-songwriters, beginning his career in this Ciudad Juárez cabaret. This is his story.
