Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes knowing it really happened and music lovers, this one's for you. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. If you loved Yankee Doodle Dandy, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A portrait of famed Chilean singer and folklorist Violeta Parra filled with her musical work, her memories, her loves and her hopes.
