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: If you count yourself among people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight, this one's for you. Leaves you with something to think about. Sits nicely alongside The Consequences of Love.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off: It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Valeria is a passive onlooker to her own life in Turin, and she grows so obsessed with the activities of her neighbor Massimo that when he moves to Rome she decides to follow him. There she meets and unexpectedly befriends Massimo's companion Flavia, and becomes enmeshed in both of their lives.
