Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of anyone who likes knowing it really happened and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. A good follow-up to Manhattan or Gandhi.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In 1919 theatre owner Ambrose Small sold his business and vanished. but who , if anyone, was responsible for his disappearance?
