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: A natural pick for anyone who loves an underdog and lovers of period drama. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. If you loved Senna, start here. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
The mood: Eye-opening.
The pace: Moves through the story clearly, at 2 hr 2 min.
What might put you off: It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The life of the "King of Football" Pelé is shown through testimonials from former players, friends and important celebrities of the time. Following a chronological order, several of his goals, key moves and facts that marked his career are displayed.
