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 people who'll be humming afterwards and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 2 hr 1 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The first authorized biography of Christopher Wallace, allowing Christopher to narrate his own life story. Using archival footage and previously unknown audio to tell the story along with interviews with those that knew him the best.
