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 anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and the curious. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Stop Making Sense or Cobain: Montage of Heck should feel right at home.
The mood: Eye-opening.
The pace: Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 17 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A documentary feature examining why over 3000 independent record stores have closed across the U.S. in the past decade. Many sources all pose threats on the very well being of our favorite record stores. Will these stores die or will they survive?
