“Monday Morning” endeared many critics like Nick Leyland from “Movie Room Review” who said “Monday Morning is an eye-opening film\u2026 a lot of things in this movie that will make your stomach turn, but maybe it will make you want to step up and do something about this problem in your own neighborhood”. \u00a0<\/strong>But “Monday Morning” also seriously angered a few.\u00a0 As one said off the record – that he thought the movie was “moving and powerful”, but his philosophical differences and strong aversion to some of the graphic scenes, caused him to “pass” on reviewing the movie. \u00a0\u00a0Any movie that could be polarizing is a risky venture for an exhibitor. Or maybe not. \u00a0Greg Laemmle gave “Monday Morning” a theatrical run at his Laemmle Theaters.<\/h4>\n

“Bold and haunting<\/span>\u2026 Nat Christian amalgamates the elements of drama, thriller, politics, social commentary and magical realism…<\/strong>
\nThe plot never feels predictable or ho-hum\u2026 <\/strong>
\nHe depicts the lifestyles of the homeless realistically and unflinchingly”<\/strong>
\n… NYC Movie Guru<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cA unique story<\/span> that dives beyond its political exterior, <\/strong>
\nunveiling a severe problem in our country <\/strong>
\nand putting a spotlight on those who must rise up and make a difference\u201d<\/strong>
\n\u2026 College Movie Review<\/h3>\n

“A timely film & a rarity<\/span> in today’s political climate…<\/strong>
\n Surprising (& sobering) scenes of abuse of homeless people”<\/strong>
\n… laist<\/h3>\n

“It’s a Wonderful Life turned inside-out<\/span>… <\/strong>
\nChristian manages to<\/strong>
\ngive us certain scenes that are surprisingly powerful, <\/strong>
\noften upsetting, that involve his homeless”<\/strong>
\n\u2026 TrustMovies<\/h3>\n

“An eye opening film<\/span>.<\/strong>.. a lot of things in this movie that will make your stomach turn,
\nbut maybe it will make you want to step up and do something<\/strong>
\n about this problemin your own neighborhood”<\/strong>
\n… Movie Room Review<\/h3>\n

“It is complex and deep,<\/span> and will leave viewers thinking<\/strong>
\n long after the last words are spoken… shocking… yet endearing in an odd way”<\/strong>
\n… Film Monthly<\/h3>\n

“A thumbs up!<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0There are some very graphic scenes and graphic<\/strong>
\n language in this film that some may find disgusting, however,<\/strong>
\n the stark truth is appalling and disgusting. It is amazing how,<\/strong>
\n when the truth is presented, a few will not even review a film<\/strong>
\n because they don’t want to see and admit the truth that is there.<\/strong>
\n And the truth is what it is… and that we truly must start to do<\/strong>
\n something about this atrocity of mankind’s inhumanity to an<\/strong>
\n ever growing population of the homeless.<\/strong>
\n… DL Dewey’s World<\/h3>\n

“After 20 years of trying to help homeless families I thought I had seen it all,<\/strong>
\n but Monday Morning was and is<\/strong> a truly inspiring and riveting film<\/strong><\/span>“<\/strong>
\n… Upward Bound<\/h3>\n

“<\/strong>A powerful, engaging movie<\/strong><\/span>, which captures the essence of the homeless.<\/strong>
\n The personalities of the characters light up and I experienced them as very real”<\/strong>
\n\u2026 Bill Rosendahl, L.A. City Councilman<\/h3>\n

“A poignant depiction of homelessness, with<\/strong> powerful performances<\/strong><\/span>
\n that will linger long after credits roll<\/span>“<\/strong>
\n… The Indie Talent Awards<\/h3>\n
