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 people who love relationship stories and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Liked American Beauty or The Glass Castle? This is a good next one. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Enrico struggles with his dysfunctional family and cheating wife, and eventually makes plans to kill them all.
