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
Great for anyone who's survived a family wedding and people who love a good family story. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 7 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Makoto Tanaka is 40-years-old and has remarried. His wife is Nanae and they care for 2 daughters from Nanae's prior marriage. Makoto tries to have an ordinary family. Nanae then becomes pregnant. Afterwards, things begin to change among the family members.
