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
If you count yourself among fantasy fans and people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Parallel tales of young couples desperately escaping cruel false fathers, each couple on the run across different regions of the country and during increasingly contemporary time periods.
