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.

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 54 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1921: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
