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 lovers of period drama and people who love a true story told well. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. Fans of O.J.: Made in America should feel right at home.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 53 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a powerful and timelessness novel which eternal theme is nothing other than man's quest for the secret of life. Since then, the Creature became a pop culture icon, overshadowing the novel and Doctor Frankenstein himself.
