I honestly don't understand the bad reviews behind this film. I'm writing this, not as a review of the events or themes that take place; but rather, a questioning of expectations from the average film viewer.

It should be fairly obvious that to enjoy any motion picture, one must enable their sense of disbelief. This means when you watch a fantasy film or show you don't question the reality of wands, spells, dragons, etc. Instead, you allow yourself to be immersed within the story. After all, the entire point of art is to transport yourself within the world of the artist.

I take issue with criticism from professional critics to the average person on the basis of "realism," "continuity," and/or any other tropes related to the experience of (in this case film), art.

This movie uses certain themes that have a major impact in the possible near future as its basis for storytelling, and therefore, I can see why some might attempt to hold the themes as a basis to grade its merits.

I must contest this though as I would say you don't read an Asimov, Clarke, Dick, novel and complain that your predictions of the future aren't the same as the author's do you? While watching this I'm reminded of my experience of watching "Minority Report" and it's safe to say that that version of the future hasn't come close to existing yet, but nonetheless it's a masterful bit of storytelling. The point though is this, sure there are holes in almost any plot, especially in films that don't coincide with our present day notions of reality; but what has that to do with our ability to enjoy a film?

Be honest with yourself for a moment, when you're watching anything but a documentary (and even then..) you're primary concern is the entertainment value. To which, this film delivers in spades.

There's great drama, great action, great acting, and one person playing 7 roles. What more could you ask for? Anyone who denigrates this film, I have to know, what are your expectations, and what are your favorite films?

Ignore all the bad reviews, this is a good movie with a bit of everything. It is only entertainment, after all. I honestly think there are some reviewers who simply cannot find anything positive to say about anything, their lives are simply that empty.

This movie is not without its faults. There are plot holes and some completely unrealistic scenarios. However, I'm not one who looks for every box to be ticked and can let these things slide, as long as the film makes up for it in other aspects such as whether it's enjoyable or not. It does so, in my opinion, with a timely, thought-provoking theme. Also, it is well-paced and there wasn't a dull moment. And Glenn Close was genuinely terrifying.

The idea is original, And the story is good , I don't understand why the rating is low , I'm never watching movies based on ratings from now on.

The core and everything in this movie is of course Noomi Rapace - she's doing an incredible job of playing seven different personalities, and doing it brilliantly. Other characters (like the "evil" side) are, unfortunately, not developed at all, but the siblings side is amazing. The plot is somewhat guessable (at least the general outcome), but there's plenty of good action and also a tough and controversial discussion about overpopulation - I'll leave it out of this review, but the thoughts from the movie go quite deep into how society could turn one day. That's also connected to the (small) frustration over the lack of other characters development, there's a rich ground for more elaborate story - but that shouldn't stop you from watching this film, it's very good!

The movie is really worth watching. It has different story full of action, emotion. The story is concept of overpopulation in our world and way it is represented is impressive. A good watch.

Let me start by saying that I did not expect this movie to play out the way it did. The acting by Noomi Rapace is nothing but phenomenal. The movie does have the basic, typical plot in regards to the whole dystopia and one child policy that has been seen before. However, the notion of the seven sisters working together to survive was what made this storyline unique. Although Noomi played seven roles, each character had the chance of sharing their story and distinctive traits. I definitely recommend this movie. Netflix pulled this movie out of a hat.

This film tells the story of a future world, where only one child is allowed door to overpopulation. Seven sisters hide in secret until they are discovered by the authorities.

Science fiction is usually not my favorite genre, but "What Happened to Monday" blew me away. The plot is original and it's excellent. A life of hiding and living only one day a week is pretty unimaginable, but the sisters managed it. As horror falls, the story gets really thrilling and completely draws me in. I long to see how things end up and what happens to the sisters. The title can be interpreted in two ways, and I think it is very clever. I think this film will be a classic, and it certainly ranks very high up in my list alongside with "Gattaca".

This movie was had a unique story line and when ever you tried to guess what's next simple you couldn't guess. the movie was a good one in many ways the action scenes and the performance the actors and actress they played just perfect. the storyline was good enough to convince you to see it at least one more time.

Set in the near future, where certain genetically modified foods have led to a massive increase in multiple births, there isn't enough food to feed the increasing population. To counter this a strict one child policy is enforced; younger siblings are placed in cryosleep to await better times. When Karen Settman dies giving birth to identical septuplets they are raised in secret by their grandfather; he names them after the days of the week. When they are old enough he lets each one out on the day corresponding to their name... on that day they are Karen Settman.

Thirty years pass and 'Karen' is working at a bank. As before each is Karen for their one day. Everything goes well until one day Monday doesn't return home... is she just late or has something happened to her? Tuesday tries to discover what happened but when she too disappears the sisters realise they are in real danger; somebody wants then eliminated. The remaining sisters will have to work together and face danger many times before they learn some shocking truths.

I really enjoyed this dystopian sci-fi; I couldn't help thinking that is was like the series 'Orphan Black' crossed with the classic film 'Soylent Green' without ever feeling like a rip off of either. There are plenty of twists and turns. We get lots of impressive, sometimes gory, action and a real sense of danger for our protagonist sisters. Noomi Rapace is great in the role of all seven sisters; each subtly different in look and behaviour. The supporting cast, which includes Glenn Close and Willem Dafoe are solid too. The film raises interesting questions; if the population continues to grow will limits on children be legally imposed or will it just be accepted that people won't get to eat as much... assuming new farming techniques don't solve the problem first. Overall an impressive film; I'd certainly recommend it to fans of the genre; I'm surprised it isn't better known.

The subject of overpopulation is one that has been brought up in many scifi movies but most just use it as a situational backdrop and don't really address the problem per se. And for this movie it's the same. It quickly falls back to the cliché good (here the 7 sisters, the one's adding to the overpopulation problem) versus evil (the one's actually trying to do something about the overpopulation problem).

The plot is rather thin and has a little 'twist' in it at the end but for the rest just falls back to all the standard scifi clichés. A large part of the film is dedicated to the sisters being chased by the bad guys (you know the scene where the bad guys get out the the SWAT team truck and the main gorilla says 'find them'). This would not be a big problem (in The Matrix for example there is also a large 'chase' part) if the chase scenes were done well and had interesting action in them but unfortunately you feel like you're watching scenes you have seen many times before but done better in other movies.

Noomi Rapace does an okay job making us believe these 7 sisters have different personalities but because of the aforementioned chase scenes there isn't that much time dedicated to the development of these characters.

The cast is padded with Willem Dafoe and Glen Close (who looks very weird and artificial, she looks CGI even when she's just there :)). The presence of these actors is supposed to add more weight to the short scenes that they are in but it only partially works because the script only gives them superficial dialogue to work with.

So what could have been a more cerebral scifi movie just turns out to be a overly long (124 mins is too much, it should have been cut down to 100 mins) standard action/scifi flick that's an okay watch but nothing I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Good one.. not bad.. good climax...lady character does her job very good..great concept just like the purge movie..

How often do I get to say "wow" when I see a movie? Let me tell you, rarely......

What Happened to Monday is really quite brilliant. It takes the serious real world issue of overpopulation and pits it against the intrinsic human imperative to protect its offspring.

The inevitable collision that takes place when the need to see the species thrive at the expense of the individual, is the starting point of this film.

What happens in between is a cleverly crafted mix of sci fi, masterful storytelling, well executed action with a emotional component that's genuinely touching.

Noomi Rapace of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" fame hands in yet another show stopping performance, nimbly and ably playing multiple characters, seemingly with ease. That's not to dismiss the performance of other cast members. This is a collectively polished affair.

This is, for me, a "must see" and possibly even "see again" sci fi. Ten out of ten from me.

The concept was fresh, focusing on a real issue of overpopulation here! With a bit more sincerity and efficacy, it would have been an awesome film. But some aspects of it didn't turn out well. Let me start with the Pros. The most positive point of the whole movie should be Noomi Rapace and the way she handled seven different characters who have different personalities with so much ease. She shines even more in the action sequences as we all know how good she is particularly in those. No surprise there! But to see her acting out wholeheartedly really put a smile on my face. Other than her, The soundscore matched pretty well with the fast tracked action scenes alongside some fine settings and scenical choices. Dystopian future, could have looked even more detailed but the efforts are worth applauding considering the limited resources it had. Now let's come to the negatives. The side characters haven't had much depth, they seemed exhaustively one dimensional. The storyline grips you from the very beginning but slightly loses the grasp right in the middle and then picks up right in the end. This rollercoaster of a journey lacked that essence of integrity that a Thriller should have. And the character arc of the Main Villain, underwhelming to say the least. Overall it's a fine action entertainer with a fresh plotline that could have been a blockbuster, if not for the weaker screenplay and sluggish writing.

How come I only found out about this movie just now in 2021? How come this movie has been so undertalked about and so underrated? I loved the plot, the acting, the soundrack and generally everything. I sure hope they make more of these movies in the future.

Excellent movie , thought provoking and amazing lead actor.

The film follows seven identical sisters living in a dystopian future where families are only allowed to have one child due to overpopulation. In order to survive, the sisters take on different identities and share one life outside their home, each named after a day of the week. However, when one of them goes missing, the sisters must work together to uncover the truth and protect their family.

The film does an excellent job of exploring the ethical dilemmas surrounding overpopulation and the lengths individuals will go to in order to protect those they love. It also raises questions about the role of government in regulating reproduction and the consequences of taking extreme measures in the name of survival.

Overall, What Happened to Monday is a thought-provoking and intense film that delves into complex moral and ethical issues while still providing plenty of action and suspense. Its compelling storyline and strong performances from the cast make it a must-watch for fans of sci-fi and dystopian films.

The premise of this story looked interesting and had the potential to have a lot done with it.

But this movie was bare bones. No Meat. Maybe even missing some of the bones.....

The story felt too simple and "spoon-fed" for me. There was little character development. When things started going bad for all the sisters, I had no emotional attachment to them to care. There was a sex scene (a little too over the top for no reason at all)that really did nothing to add to the depth of the characters or the meaning of the film in any way. It was as if they stuck it in there to check off that box of "scenes you have to have to attract broadest target audience" And I think that includes people with IQ's below 70.

The acting was well done and the production and technical parts of this movie were average/decent enough but with such a simple script the only strong emotions this movie brought out in me was boredom. I made it thru the whole movie. Barely.

This is a great movie! Shot very well and the main actress is amazing for playing all seven characters. This movie itself is a little bloody for me, but besides that I quite like it. I keep seeing reviews indicating a lower rating, but I don't know why! This film is exciting and has a great story line that makes you think about our current situation in the world. It makes you wonder just how far human society will go when technology starts to really become more advanced.

What a great premise. Dystopian stories about limits on children had been done plenty of times, but this was a new approach. Really made for a great story and Noomi tackles the challenge of playing seven different characters and personalities really well. The only issue is that as it nears the end, really the final third of the film, it just begins to try and throw one twist after another at you. To the point that they begin to lose their punch. I think if they'd dialed it back a bit it could've been an 8 or 9 * movie. Some neat visuals, and great action sequences, they just got a little too wild towards the end.

The premise of this new film, by Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola, is a brilliant one, Naomi Rapace is as great as ever, and the overall execution is really good. If only the plot had been able to keep up.

It seems to me Wirkola asks us not to take it all too seriously, and just enjoy the ride and I was almost able to, because it's a pretty fun one. The problem is, in my humble opinion at least, a film like this, a premise like this, a plot like this, SHOULD take itself seriously. "What Happened to Monday" starts out as a techno-thriller, and I wish it would have stayed as such, but it soon divulges into mindless action. This is forgivable, even admirable, if the plot is able to support it, but in this case it isn't, and thus the movie quite quickly falls apart.

In a thriller, even a sci-fi thriller, one can only indulge so many plot holes, and in this one they are too frequent and too huge, and Wirkola doesn't seem to care. He seems to want to get ridiculous, to revel in his action and his violence, but I would say that, in that case, he should have made a different movie.

As for the plot holes, I won't spoil anything, because this is a good film, I just feel like it could have been a great one!
