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
Made for romantics and fans of a well-timed joke. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening. Same wavelength as The Parent Trap.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

The semi-biographical The Extremists' Opera follows the everyday and inner struggles of a women-only alternative theater group delivering explosive and politically controversial explosive stage performances under the control of tough mannered director Naoko.
