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 likes life-or-death stakes every episode and people who need a good giggle. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Fans of After Hours or Short Cuts should feel right at home.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1949: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A ring passes between a lot of different people, giving the bearer or someone close a new meaning to life. Actors, embezzlers, old ladies and cheated husbands all seem to gain temporary hope from misery and disillusionment.
