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
Right up the alley of people who love a good family story and people who like their stories with a little danger. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here. A good follow-up to Monster or In Cold Blood.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A disturbing film about the Portuguese underworld of prostitution.
