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
A natural pick for music lovers and anyone who likes knowing it really happened. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of The Last Waltz or Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me should feel right at home. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 51 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

It is now over 25 years since the release of The Wall. Conceived by Roger Waters as an ambitious double album, a spectacular live show and a ground breaking feature film. The Wall has gone on to achieve iconic status in the history of popular music. This program draws on live performance footage of Pink Floyd and highlights from the film. Also includes extracts from archive interviews with Gerald Scarfe and Alan Parker, the director of The Wall, along with the views of a team of leading musicians and musicologists. This is the independent critical review of a milestone in popular culture, which strips away the prejudice to produce the ultimate retrospective on one of the most important and iconoclastic popular works of the twentieth century. Featuring Highlights From: • Another Brick in The Wall Part 2 • Comfortably Numb • One Of My Turns • Plus Many More!
