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 history buffs and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about. Sits nicely alongside Mr. Turner or All the Way.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The movie Karolina Rijecka is loosely based on the legendary story of young Karolina Belinic. When the English fleet began firing cannons on the Adriatic port of Rijeka, young Karolina boarded the ship of English Admiral John Leard and negotiated a cease-fire to save the town from destruction.
