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
A natural pick for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

An established writer goes to the Nobel Prize Banquet in Stockholm. He is a family man. In the background another woman. A suicide attempt. His work is rejected by the publisher.
