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: Great for people who love a story where everyone knows everyone and history and war-film fans. The small-town setting is half the character. Shelve it next to 3:10 to Yuma or Bad Day at Black Rock. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A pastor with a shady past moves into a rural town just after the Civil War.
