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: Best for people who love a story about friendship and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Azad comes to Sweden by mistake. In order to blend in with the family that hides him, he must pretend that he is nine years old. Suddenly he's quite alone in a new country and doesn't understand the language. But with the help of a spaced-out hot-dog vendor, the coolest guy in school, and world champion Kajsa Bergqvist, maybe he can find his real family again.
