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: Tailor-made for anyone looking to switch off and smile and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Shelve it next to Memoir of a Snail.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 55 min.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

When everything in his life seems to be going wrong, downtrodden and alcohol-dependent Karl has a fateful encounter in Munich with Yu, a mysterious Japanese dancer from his father’s past. Unexpectedly, Yu begins to help Karl confront his demons (both literal and figurative) and begin to heal.
