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
- Tailor-made for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and history and war-film fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Fans of 1917 or The Great Escape should feel right at home. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. The story isn't told in order, so keep your phone down.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Four Londoners are inseparably linked by their wartime experiences. In a time when the barriers of sexuality and social convention have been broken down, they enjoy a freedom never experienced before.
