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
Best for music lovers and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to A Star Is Born.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Set in the 1890s on the Hungarian plains, a group of farm workers go on strike in which they face harsh reprisals and the reality of revolt, oppression, morality and violence.
