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
Right up the alley of anyone with a soft spot for road trips and anyone who wants a laugh. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. Sits nicely alongside Night on Earth or Stand by Me.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 16 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

An unemployed music teacher takes his estranged transgender parent on a road trip to the west coast of Norway, in order to honor his late mother's excellent quilting skills.
