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
Great for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and people who need a good giggle. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Fans of The Station Agent or Blinded by the Light should feel right at home.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 5 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

After decades of single-minded dedication to his work, a worker with an elite career course at a major bank is transferred or rather relegated to a subsidiary company, where he finds himself at a loos as he reaches retirement age.
