I should first warn all viewers that, in regard to explicit images, there are no punches pulled with some of the scenes in Monday Morning. However given the powerful story, direction and acting, I think that people will either love this movie or be very turned off by it, because of the imaging.
I should also mention that what made me see this movie is that I am a fan of a Nat Christian movie. Simply put, he walks to the beat of a different drummer (when he wants to), and when he takes chances, I like to see what he does.
I saw a showing at a small theater in Beverly Hills. Not too many in the audience, but those that were there seemed to be as affected as I was.
Writer, director Nat Christian takes us. from what up front starts out like a quick- cutting romantic comedy with hints of some underlying political themes, and throws us into the most realistic scenarios of the incurable homeless population in Los Angeles. Through our shock and awe, we are also touched and moved by the story and images in this movie. Also playing the role of a homeless vet Christian explodes with the kind of rhetoric that we see from these characters on the street and touches us deeply in a very sensitive scene with the lead character of Thomas Bach, played beautifully by Victor Browne.
As the lead actor, Browne convincingly journeys through a myriad of emotions covering romance, comedy, tragedy and deep conflict as only a wonderful actor can.
He is supported by an excellent cast including Molly Kidder in the lead role of Bach's romantic interest, Jessica Spotts, Ken Melchior, Robert Pike Daniel and Cevin Middleton.
I can't give out a spoiler, so I can only say that there is an intriguing situation with a Bag Lady, who Bach encounters. Something there, and I will have to see it again to figure it out.
