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
A natural pick for anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Willy's quest to find Marlena, his lost love, takes him from Mexico to Canada, where he is hired as a seasonal worker at the Bécotte farm, near Montreal. Several destinies intersect, worlds collide, tensions rise and moments of magical realism emerge during long work days.
