What Happened to Monday

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!

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".

Not sure what's not to like about this flick. Unique premise, intriguing plot, plenty of action, and a decent performances from a top notch cast.

If you can't sit back and enjoy then you're taking things a bit too seriously.

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.

Well the story portraits 7 siblings trying to live at an overpopulated world. Each one of them a day of the week.

I haven't read the book and the story is not so distant. At first seems kind of boring but then gets quite intense and thrilling. The final is not what you'd expect.

Maybe the story is not so accurate with real problems, but come on! it's Sci-Fi, not a documentary. The acting is wonderful, if Oscars were not preconfigured to drama, Noomi Rapace at least would be nominated. She portraits seven different personalities, seven different aspects, virtually seven different personas in one set. Which even though has some slight flaws is quite an acting showcase. And that needs to be applauded. (Trust me she did better than Legend, the Tom Hardy one with the twins).

Directors, editors and photography did a great job mixing one person into seven, again, had some flaws but was good work and needs to be applauded.

Supporting actors were not that great, excluding Marwan Kenzari who did a good job. Is not a must watch either a blockbuster for the summer, but it will be a story that you may enjoy any given day.
