Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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 anyone drawn to the darker side of the street, this one's for you. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises.
The mood: Gritty.
The pace: Well paced, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Thomas hitchhikes from Hamburg to Munich where he meets his ex-girlfriend, Peggy. Thomas doesn't have a bed for the night and goes home with Peggy, not knowing that she and her four roommates have all made a strange pact.
