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
- Tailor-made for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and anyone who loves a strong drama. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Shelve it next to Aftersun or The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 6 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
