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
Aimed squarely at anyone in the mood for a love story and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Maggie and Carsten love each other, they have two wonderful children and run their own gourmet restaurant; Malus. They want it all. And they have it all. Almost. They are missing the coveted Michelin Star. It has been their dream, on which they gambled everything to win. One day Carsten receives a letter saying that his wife loves somebody else. But who sent the letter and why? In their continuous passion and pursuit for the ultimate recognition, they forget that the meals of life are best enjoyed together.
