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
Great for anyone interested in what war does to people and anyone who's ever talked to their pet. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved Gallipoli, start here. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 10 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1927: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Young Brierly struggles to save his father, Major Brierly, from the clutches of alcohol after the Great War. At the same time, he prepares Major Brierly's horse, which served bravely with the Major at the front, for the Kentucky Derby.
