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
Tailor-made for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening. Shelve it next to Monster's Ball.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1948: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

A suicidal factory girl, just out of reformatory school and anxious to escape her overbearing mother, falls in love with a sailor who can't forgive her past.
