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
- Aimed squarely at fans of deadpan, fly-on-the-wall comedy and people who love a true story told well. Shot like a documentary, played completely straight.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
A film about news, life and death. Before the media became so prevalent, we were concerned about our immediate neighborhood. At the end of the day, news was the subject of our conversations, but now it's possible to converse with someone at the other end of the globe. We do it all the time. It's simple. The world has become one big neighborhood. Now Headline News has replaced the back fence. That's the news service of the eigthies. It's a new idea and a new approach.
