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 anyone who loves a strong drama. If you loved Ma Rainey's Black Bottom or Better Man, start here.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 58 min.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Emma, a talented conductor and rising star on the Montreal scene, has a complicated relationship with her father and agent Patrick. She has to face up to her emotions and decide whether she wants to successfully combine her career with her love affair with Naëlle, a recently separated cellist and mother of a young son.
