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 people who need a good giggle and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to Moonstruck.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

How can moon and time affect human mood and fate? In the manner of a Greek tragedy , this movie shows how the chaos of life ineluctably propels its characters towards violence and alienation.
