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
- Right up the alley of anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and people who like stories about real, flawed people. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Shelve it next to American Beauty.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 13 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Esi is a 25 year old, queer, biracial woman. Growing up in a conservative town in Missouri with immigrant parents, her sexuality and desire to be a photographer have become laced with shame and guilt. Six months after moving to LA, we find Esi isolated and disconnected from world around her. After another day of feeling invisible as a PA, Esi stumbles upon a vivid house party of QTPOC (queer and trans people of color). For the first time in her life, Esi is welcomed into a community where she can let down her walls, let go of societal and family pressures and begin to embrace her true self.
