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 wants a laugh and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

After Tsutomu Tamaki graduated from high school, he has worked at his family farm and raises ume (plum). He becomes interested in a class for “poetry boxing” and decides to take the class. There, he meets a female high school student who has her own problem.
