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
- Made for people who root for the clever crook and fans of a well-timed joke. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Liked The Asphalt Jungle or The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Following a failed hold-up, leg-hurted Antoine is looking to hide at Elias's home. Nothing reserved the anarchist robber to meet this life-disciplined history teacher. Then, a strange balance of power set in, between ascendency and friendship, before the arrival of Lucie, investigator in charge of the case.
