In a not so distant future, where overpopulation and famine have forced governments to undertake a drastic One-Child Policy, seven identical sisters (all of them portrayed by Noomi Rapace) live a hide-and-seek existence pursued by the Child Allocation Bureau. The Bureau, directed by the fierce Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close), enforces a strict family-planning agenda that the sisters outwit by taking turns assuming the identity of one person: Karen Settman. Taught by their grandfather (Willem Dafoe) who raised and named them - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday - each can go outside once a week as their common identity, but are only free to be themselves in the prison of their own apartment. That is until, one day, Monday does not come home.
Leave your thoughts about What Happened to Monday.
| El Pais (Spain)Jordi CostaThe only pleasure in this film is seeing Noomi Rapace interact nimbly with six other versions of herself. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Dread CentralJonathan Barkan...an exhilarating and emotional movie that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. |
| indieWireEric KohnWirkola, who’s best known for his two “Dead Snow” zombie movies, struggles to tackle a more serious-minded tone this time around. |
| Film InquiryLee JuttonDespite its various weaknesses, What Happened to Monday is still weird, wacky fun, a B-movie with a capital B. |
| The VergeBryan Bishop. . .while it starts strong, What Happened to Monday eventually falls victim to one of the most common movie foibles of all. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickNoomi Rapace sells the idea of the seven distinct sisters with impressive efficiency |
| Entertainment WeeklyDarren Franich[Rapace] gives seven performances; at least four are good. It's an audition for smarter roles than Hollywood's been giving her, maybe. Or maybe it's a wigstore-raiding lark. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbraySilly, fast-paced, fun. Noomi Rapace hasn't been this charismatic since THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. |
| The PlaylistJoe BlessingEven in a future bereft of new ideas, it’s fun to watch Noomi Rapace act against herself six times over and her game performances in the midst of fast-paced action make What Happened to Monday? a mostly enjoyable thriller. |
| The Daily DotEddie StraitWhat Happened to Monday stands with any action film found on movie screens this summer. It's unfortunate that it won't have a theatrical run. It would play well to a crowd. |
