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 believes we're not alone and people who love a story set somewhere strange. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. A good follow-up to The Man Who Fell to Earth or Interstellar.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Six people find a mysterious mark in the center of their left hand and all independently go to Easter Island in hopes to uncover the mystery.
