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 nostalgic for their awkward years and people who love a story about friendship. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Shelve it next to The Public Enemy. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
When straight-laced Jefferson finds out his drug-dealing brother is dead, he returns to São Paulo with his childhood friend to identify the body. The journey raises memories of their shared childhood and poses a choice for their future.
