What Happened To Monday (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #29 extract: What Happened To Monday (2017)

What Happened to Monday is your average political sci-fi picture with a tyrannical government and corrupt capitalist infrastructure which needs to be overcome that is spruced up with a high-concept and numerous performances by Noomi Rapace. 

Whilst this has some clear commentary on individuality, collectivism and family in face of corrupt conservatism, What Happened to Monday lacks worthwhile characters and provides no substantial answers to its antagonist's terrible solution to a population problem. The story then has no punch and, despite the effort put into the action scenes, everything feels weightless and empty. 

Ultimately, though this isn't a mindless and ill-constructed film, it only barely manages to pass the threshold of mediocrity.
