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
Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone in the mood for a love story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

An evening in an old time dance hall in Sao Paulo introduces us to local characters who reminisce about the past, wonder about the future, have fun, flirt, fight and, of course, dance. Its earthy humour and eternal themes of ageing, loneliness and desire is an antidote to grumpy old men and women everywhere.
