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
Great for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. If you loved Casablanca, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A home-guard serviceman assigned the task of standing watch over a barren no-man's-land begins to experience an existential crisis after years of lonely service.
