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.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and people who love relationship stories, this one's for you. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to Lost Highway or Papillon. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Three flatmates in Mexico City face uncertainties: Lucía who has a great job as an art director for TV commercials is abusing alcohol and cocaine. She risks losing her job, going to prison for assault, and she's woefully in love with a bullfighter who may be two-timing her. Carmen, an artist without income, can be manic - snorting lots of cocaine and hanging out with a gay man and a transvestite. What's her future? Hanna contemplates divorce from Abraham, a wealthy momma's boy, and she's disoriented by feelings of attraction to Sandra, a customer at her jewelry store. Can any of these poor little rich girls sort things out in a world of excess?
