Review of Monday Morning (2012) by Lee M — 11 Jun 2013
Monday Morning is an original potion of styles which effectively portrays eye opening scenes that accurately reflect our homeless conditions. I felt that the direction lured us into this world and gives us sobering surprises along the way.
This director's voice is something to keep an eye on. The actors were real. Gritty. And I kept thinking how they looked like they were pulled off the street. The movie depicts the journey of an up and coming senate candidate who has the misfortune (or good fortune depending on how you look at it) of becoming homeless while he is in need of his diabetic insulin.
He meets a composite of homeless people and develops better understanding. In some of the scenes he's sitting with a bunch of the truly despondent and everyone rattles off opinions and thoughts that are seemingly disconnected, but as the movie unfolds their voices ring truisms.
The director creates something cohesive out of all what seems crazy out there on our cold winter streets. I can't say much more, only that Monday Morning stands out amongst the independents.
