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 space nerds and fans of close encounters. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill. Same wavelength as Bugonia or They Live. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story.
The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
Breezy, at 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

A comedy about the employees for the U.S. government, who work in a remote facility in the Nevada desert, which houses an alien creature.
