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
- Best for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 14 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1950: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Harry Musk is one in a million. That means that he's the one out of a million children who is perfectly proportioned but will never grow larger than a typical six-year-old. Adult, pint-sized Harry longs to be part of the big world.
