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
- Best for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who like stories about real, flawed people. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Hairspray or Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A tv movie based on the play Swedenhielms by Hjalmar Bergmans play from 1923.
