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 likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to The Last Waltz or The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 2 hr 5 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The story of the Candeal favela in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, where musician Carlinhos Brown carries out social and cultural initiatives that protect and enrich the lives of its inhabitants every day.
