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
- Aimed squarely at people who'll be looking things up afterwards and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Fans of Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father or Boy A should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Gritty, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 47 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Robert Elmer Kleasen (1934-2003) was an American who was convicted and sentenced to death in 1975 for the murder of two young men near Austin, Texas.
