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 looking things up afterwards and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 51 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Rise and fall of Jari Sarasvuo, as he transforms from a media person to business training guru during the crazy years of the 1990s and 2000s, just before the financial crash.
