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
Right up the alley of people who need a good giggle. Low effort, high reward: just press play.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Lisbon, Portugal, 1927. The writer and journalist Fernando Pessoa accepts from his boss the commission to create an advertising slogan for the drink Coca-Louca; but conservative government authorities consider the new drink as revolutionary as it is diabolical.
