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: If you count yourself among fans of giant monsters and bigger battles and anyone who likes a world with its own rules, this one's for you. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Moves at a clip, at 13 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

The Japanese art of bunraku puppetry dramatizes the existential crisis of a despondent denizen of a Kaiju-infested region of Japan; a rigorous theatrical tradition soaked in profound absurdism.
