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
Aimed squarely at people who love a good growing-up story and anyone who likes secrets inside secrets. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Fans of The Virgin Suicides or Almost Famous should feel right at home. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Sara, a young ballet dancer, drifts through boredom as a constrained classical dancer until she meets Jean, a West African plumber from the opposite side of town with natural simplicity and freedom in his dance movements. Curiosity leads towards an explosion of awakening in both her dance and personal worlds.
