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
Made for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 35 min. The story isn't told in order, so keep your phone down.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect sex.
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Norma Jean Baker finds her way to Hollywood and is turned into sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.
