Big Monday

About This Movie

So, 'Big Monday' is an interesting take on the whole coming-of-age thing, set against the backdrop of Manhattan's bustling streets. The pacing feels a bit erratic, which some might find jarring, but it really captures that frenetic energy of trying to make it in the city. The comedy weaves in and out of the drama, giving it this almost bittersweet tone. There's a rawness to the performances that you don't see much anymore, adds to the authenticity. And the practical effects, while not flashy, work well to ground the story. It has this sense of urgency that makes you feel for the main character as he navigates everything from delays to unexpected detours on his way to that job interview. Definitely a unique piece in the late '90s landscape.
