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 with a best friend they'd call at 3am and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. The friendships are the beating heart of it. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 17 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1947: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Joaquin Monegro feels a huge hatred for Abel Sánchez, who was once his best friend. Over the years, Monegro marries without love, and tries to have his children marry, but not forgetting Abel so far.
