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 like stories that don't look away and crime fans. It deals with hard things honestly. Liked Anatomy of a Fall or Le Samouraï? This is a good next one. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood
Tense and unsettling, dark and gritty.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
  • Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

A champagne tycoon's partner suspects his partner's gigolo husband of murders he's been framed for.
