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
Made for anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and fans of sharp satire. Power and ambition drive every scene. Fans of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan should feel right at home. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

In 1957 the Soviet Union decides to give Hungary the chance to choose the world's first cosmonaut, who can be the very first person in space. It seems like the best candidate is Lajkó, the gypsy spraying pilot.
