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
Best for people who get choked up at a comeback and anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. Shelve it next to Rudy or Air. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A story of passion, rivalry, love, and friendship. Jan Banas, acclaimed Silesian football player of the 1960s and 1970s, struggles to makes his dreams come true on and off the field. Stars is the story of a great love between young people torn by passion and ambition.
