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
A natural pick for anyone interested in what war does to people and people who love a true story told well. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved They Shall Not Grow Old or For Sama, start here.
The mood
Harrowing, eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A story of destinies joined by Guatemala's past, and how a documentary film intertwined with a nation's turbulent history emerges as an active player in the present.
