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
Best for history buffs and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. A good follow-up to Suffragette.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

During the Mexican Agrarian Reform, an engineer travels to a town to distribute the land of the landowners among the peasants.
