Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

You might want to keep your phone out for these.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for people who like the lights on afterwards and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
The mood: Eye-opening.
The pace: Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The movie recalls children who suffered mental and physical harm both during the last century, particularly in religious orphanages, and during the time of early modernperiod witch-hunts. It shows that the mindsets and behavioural patterns of both time periods are more alike than one might think.
