And maybe that\u2019s the point, but it doesn\u2019t justify making us suffer, too, for nearly two hours. We\u2019d feel more invested in their highs and lows, their will-they-or-won\u2019t-they, if the characters were better defined. Stan\u2019s Mickey is an easygoing and charismatic party boy with a Peter Pan complex; Gough\u2019s Chloe is a captivating and pragmatic lawyer who\u2019s the steadier one in the relationship (as in, she owns actual furniture). There\u2019s not much to either of them individually beyond a few simple traits, and they barely evolve as a couple over the course of the film, which spans several months. They seem doomed from the start, and all we can do is watch and wonder why they ever bothered beyond the giddy rush of great sex.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Stan and Gough enjoy a fun flirtation in the beginning, though, as ex-pats in their mid-30s meeting cute during an Athens summer dance party. The fact that they kiss intensely before they even learn each other\u2019s names, as music thumps and bodies bump all around them, is a great indication of the volatility that\u2019s in store (and Papadimitropoulos puts us right in the center of the action through a long and immersive tracking shot). Mickey has been DJing in the city for the past seven years, having fled New York just as his band was on the rise. Chloe is an immigration lawyer who\u2019s on the verge of returning to the United States after 18 months. But when they meet on that fateful Friday, it seems highly unlikely that they\u2019ll say goodbye and go back to their normal lives by the following Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> from Papadimitropoulos and Rob Hayes uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of Fridays as its structure\u2014some joyful, some painful, but all eventful in some way to mark the passage of time as this unlikely relationship lives on, with the inevitable return to reality on a Monday lurking in the distance. Hence, the title. But that sensible breakup remains at bay, and we keep wondering why as it grows clearer that these two people truly aren\u2019t meant for each other. A party they throw to meet one another\u2019s friends goes amusingly, horribly wrong as it becomes obvious just how different Mickey and Chloe are based on the company they keep. Both groups are obnoxious, to be sure, but in contrasting ways: Her pals are posh jerks, his are brash boors. There isn\u2019t a single person in this movie you\u2019d want to spend a significant amount of time with, and yet, here we are.<\/p>\n<p>But a couple of scenes do shed some light on who these characters are\u2014or rather, who Stan\u2019s is. The Irish theatre actress Gough, for all her vibrant physicality, is more of a passenger, which is odd given that she\u2019s playing the responsible go-getter of the two. One of them occurs when a former bandmate of Mickey\u2019s (Dominique Tipper)\u2014who\u2019s now achieved some measure of solo success\u2014comes to town to play a gig and makes him doubt his hedonistic lifestyle. Stan, best known for his role as the Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Jeff Gillooly in \u201cI, Tonya,\u201d gets a rare chance to show some romantic-lead magnetism as well as dramatic subtlety, so much so that it makes you wish for stronger material for him.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>The other scene, which is the film\u2019s best, occurs when Chloe meets up with Mickey\u2019s ex-girlfriend, Aspa (Elli Tringou), who\u2019s also the mother of his six-year-old son, whom he never sees because he\u2019s such a flake. (His feelings toward fatherhood, an attribute that\u2019s supposed to give him depth, remain frustratingly ill-defined.) Chloe arrives at the restaurant on Mickey\u2019s behalf to help negotiate some sort of joint custody agreement, both as a lawyer and as his current girlfriend, and the tension and brutal honesty between them gives \u201cMonday\u201d a much-needed jolt of energy. \u201cMickey\u2019s a baby,\u201d Aspa tells Chloe. \u201cHe\u2019s a little boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the dazzling, sun-soaked scenery, the long nights of partying and the sight of these attractive actors s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ping themselves bare\u2014physically and emotionally\u2014for their roles, the harsh truth of Monday, and its accompanying hangover, comes all too soon for us.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<p><em>Now playing in select theaters and available on digital platforms and VOD.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Christy Lemire\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/christy-lemire\/featured_ChristyLemireheadshot.jpg\" title=\"Christy Lemire\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christy_Lemire\"><\/span>Christy Lemire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Christy Lemire is a co-host of the YouTube film review show &#8220;What the Flick?!&#8221; Christy reviewed films for The Associated Press for over 14 years.
