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
Right up the alley of western fans and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Fans of True Grit should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Diogo, a cowboy, meets Rodrigo, a boy who dreams of becoming a cattle herder, when he drives a large herd of cattle to the Ouro Fino farm. They become friends and witness the injustices that occur in the region due to the greed of Major Batista, the owner of the property where they take the cattle.
