The tension was high throughout the film. I also liked the advanced technological gizmos they imagined for the year 2073 when the movie was set.
All the scenes with more than one Noomi Rapace looked fantastic and believable. The technical magic needed to put all 7 of the sisters in the same shot was beautifully done. There was some treachery among them, but they mostly functioned as a unit. The sisters were so ill-defined I almost wondered why we were supposed to care whether they lived or died. In a film, unlike serial television, there was no time to develop 7 personalities. There were very limited delineations between them, mostly hair and dress styles. Noomi Rapace did a fine job as the 7 sisters. Idiot or not, he had to be in the story because of some things that are revealed at the very end. He couldn’t tell the difference between the Karen he screwed every Monday and the virgin Karen with blonde hair he screwed thinking it was his regular girl. It was one of her least inspiring performances.Īlso important to the story was Adrian (Marwan Kenzari), who was involved with one of the sisters and eventually all of the sisters. Glenn Close plays Nicolette Cayman, the person in charge of enforcing the one child per family rule. Each girl is named for a day of the week, and that is the only day they can leave the house. He teaches them how to survive in hiding. Willem Dafoe as Terrence Settman, the grandparent of the 7 sisters who all go by Karen Settman when out of the house, manages to hide the girls. They solved this double whammy by stealing away children from parents who had more than one.
At the same time the government developed an artificial food that has a powerful side effect: it causes multiple births. They live in a world where overpopulation forced the government to allow parents to have only one child. The film is streaming on Netflix now, so you can take a look and make up your own mind. Some things about it were well done, and some were disappointing. I have mixed emotions about What Happened to Monday.
