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
Great for anyone who's survived a family wedding and lovers of period drama. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. A good follow-up to The Young Victoria or Match Point. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The story of the divorcee who dared to fall in love with the future King of England.
