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
Right up the alley of anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. A good follow-up to Julius Caesar.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 59 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A false accusation leads the philosopher Socrates to trial and condemnation in 4th century BC Athens.
