Monday Reviews
The film perfectly captures how intoxicating new love is and how fast someone will drop their entire personality or responsibilities to mold themselves into someone the other person wants

Monday is hot, steamy and angsty with great performances from Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough, yet fails to deliver an interesting enough story.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2023
We don’t get enough of the quiet moments in between the major events in order to invest in their relationship and buy them as a couple after too long.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 22, 2022
Monday meanders, which matches its beach-side vibe but does not necessarily make for an engaging plot.

What happens when you try to make the party continue? The two leads, who deliberately have incomplete chemistry, try to find out what happens when you pursue a bad idea.

It's wildly meandering and occasionally directionless. But it also deserves a lot of credit for, in a Hollywood landscape that has grown bizarrely sexless, being an unabashedly horny movie.

One can be forgiven for losing focus in [Monday's] slow slog to the end.

The film feels wonderfully intimate at times, but that level of closeness exacts a price in return.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 5, 2021
While "Monday" is not quite as deep as other films exploring the woes and triumphs of coupledom... it is an enjoyable, believable and a somewhat fresh take on the genre.

Writers Rob Hayes and Argyris Papadimitropoulos tell an engaging story, and quite frankly, that's enough, especially when you have great leads to tell your story.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 22, 2021
If you're in the mood to watch two American lovers in their mid-30s act like immature, self-absorbed partiers while living in Greece, in a shallow story that mostly goes nowhere, then feel free to waste about 115 minutes of your time watching this movie.

Better than the feeling of heading into a Monday after a nice, relaxing weekend.
| Original Score: B | Apr 21, 2021
Not good enough to love, not bad enough to loathe - it's far from a great film, but not even Garfield could muster up the gumption to hate this Monday.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 21, 2021
The two lead actors share almost every frame, yet their committed performances and convincing chemistry can't carry this otherwise meandering romantic drama.
| Apr 21, 2021
I didn't get a feel for their chemistry... It felt unconvincing, underdeveloped, and kind of pointless.
| Apr 21, 2021
When they were just roaming around beautiful Greece, I was enjoying the movie. When they get into the story? Nah.
| Apr 21, 2021
That's the beauty of Argyris Papadimitropoulos's follow-up to Suntan; it's a movie that accurately reflects the highs and lows of relationships once the dust of a fling starts to settle and the work begins.
| Apr 20, 2021
It's at least honest about its depictions of those who choose to mess up their lives.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 20, 2021
While the writing is definitely uneven and messy, much like the central characters themselves - there's something oddly compelling about Mickey and Chloe. Despite your better judgment, you may find yourself rooting for those two crazy kids (cough adults).
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2021
Monday ends up feeling as much a chore to experience as the dreaded start of the work week, that Sisyphean start button to a universal reality we (stereotypically) all want to fast forward through.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 19, 2021
