Wasted 2 hrs of my life watching this ridiculous far-fetched story. Apart from the 2 leads shagging every 5 mins nothing much else happened & they seemed to make the plot up as they went along. Was relieved when it ended

This movie was amazing are you kidding? I think I got the point of it. The ending was perfect.

'Monday', directed by Argyris Papadimitropoulos, is a captivating tsunami of passion and romance set across the sunny islands of Greece. The film premiered on September 11th at the Toronto International Film Festival as a part of TIFF Industry Selects. 'Monday' was then acquired by IFC Films and set the film for an April 16th release. Chloe Gains (Denise Gough) is an American lawyer who is currently living and working in Greece. One night at a party, she meets Mickey (Sebastian Stan), a fellow American who's called Greece home for the past seven years. The next time we see either of them is when they've awoken stark naked on a beach, the balmy sun glaring down upon them. Their one passionate night begins an intense romance that indefinitely postpones Chloe's return to the US. As their romance blossoms, viewers are taken on an immersive, modern journey. Sebastian Stan takes a break from the MCU to bring the character of Mickey to the screen. Mickey is a reckless, charming DJ, a contrast to Denise Gough's character Chloe, a sharp, strong-minded immigration lawyer who is as pleasure-hungry as Mickey. Both Stan and Gough give strong performances throughout the 116 minutes. Once these two contrasting individuals move in together, red flags fill the screen. One of these red flags could be the fact Mickey has a six-year-old son whom viewers never actually meet, probably due to the fact Mickey doesn't have a good rapport with the child's mother. It also becomes apparent that before they met, these two people ran in opposite crowds: Chloe's friends are upper-class, sumptuous people, whereas Mickey's friends are boyish blue-collar workers. The dynamic between these two characters is nothing you wouldn't have seen before; two dysfunctional, self-destructive people who fall into a blossoming romance with each other. But Papadimitropoulos manages to put a fresh, unique twist on it, albeit an R-rated twist that includes heavy nudity and drug use. The gorgeous islands of Greece are the perfect backdrop for this relationship to flourish. Hristos Karamanis provides cinematography that gives the film a contemporary, modern atmosphere and the handheld shots throughout create an almost immersive feel for the viewer. Everything about the film emits a sense of genuineness and simplicity. The interactions between Stan and Gough, whether it be the lustful sex scenes or drug-fuelled moped rides, feel so natural and unforced. 'Monday' is one of those films that radiates an overwhelming sense of honesty and openness on screen. Filming on location gives the film another layer of authenticity. The film shows viewers that the 'honeymoon phase' of a relationship doesn't last forever. Chloe and Mickey's once fiery affair broils down to a domestic romance - Chloe is the thing that inspires Mickey to enter the next stage of his life. Papadimitropoulos gives viewers a charming, failed rom-com that features strong performances throughout and a fresh dynamic. Films like 'Newness' and '6 Years' fall onto the same shelf as 'Monday', a passionate romance fuelled by the attraction between two people.

Commedia romantica che lascia piuttosto spiazzati per le due opposte sensazioni che lascia. Da un lato c'è un piacevole scorrere della relazione, con dei dialoghi interessanti e due personaggi fuori dagli schemi in un contesto altrettanto particolare; dall'altro lato c'è un continuo chiedersi dove vuole andare a finire il racconto, che non lascia intendere un vero grande sviluppo se non quello del modificarsi della relazione. Alla fine però si scopre che non si arriva da nessuna parte; si fatica a trovare una conclusione degna vista l'ordinarietà delle sequenze raccontate ed è proprio il finale ad essere la parte meno solida.

El argumento no avanza.

The first 25-30 minutes were a struggle for me but after that it got good even though the ending could have been better.

Sebastian Stan is a great actor but the movie is just mediocre.

2.5 out of 5 stars. Monday is a pretty bad drama film that tries to play as a romantic drama of two characters that meet in Athens. And they cant seem to be apart from each other. Great cast with the likables of Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough. The story and direction can barely go on for so long without losing its steam and ideas. Half way through the film it falls flat and seemed nearly pointless throughout.

It was tumultuous and the ending was frustrating.

It was an ok film. It's basically a movie about two people in an unhealthy relationship who learn nothing from their mistakes. It's frustrating, but honest. I found myself rooting for either of them (but mostly Chloe) to wake up and leave.

78% 👍🏻 This movie isn't for everyone, but it was for me. The leads are fantastic to watch, the music is beautiful and it's gorgeous to look at.

The performances were good, but the relationship was hard to watch. It's hard to know, but perhaps they could have gotten along better with some rehab.

so good i love everyone in it

Right, an amazing love story, for the ones who like life as it is, an extraordinary mix of of different emotions :)

Watched it in a theatre in New Orleans with a few friends. We left feeling like we watched a rom com that doesn't sugarcoat anything. A real love story! Both Stan and Gough gave it all.

Watched it twice in one day! Absolutely loved it. The chemistry, the filmmaking, the setting, everything. Highly recommended!

Even the pretty faces of this movie couldn't save its weak plot and terrible character development. Laughably bad.

Very basic chronicle and cliche, moreover, there is no connection between the characters or a good cinematography and the situations passed by the characters are simple and idiotic.

I love this movie, it was great and every one did an amazing job and love you sebastian stan.

No existen en inglés palabras para describir lo mala que es esta pelicula. Vine por Sebastian Stan y aún así tras una hora ya no aguantaba más.
