Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young.
The mood
Scary, romantic.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 2 hr 3 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
