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
Made for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Fans of The Killing of a Sacred Deer or Shutter Island should feel right at home.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A petty thief breaks into the home of a psychiatrist and gets caught in a web of a doctor who wishes to experiment on him and a doctor's wife who wishes to seduce him.
