Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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
- Best for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best watched without your phone in hand. Same wavelength as Collateral or Cape Fear.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
After serving time for bank fraud, Kiriko now lives a quiet life as a taxi driver working night shifts... but her peace is shattered by a relentless stalker in a Land Cruiser.
