	Author	Review
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] sensual, funny and above all honest look at amour fou (...) it grows darker, more daring and deeply sad"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"[It] crackles with energy and stings with honesty (...) An entertainingly subversive spin on the romcom genre"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough have zero chemistry as a couple dealing with a series of uninteresting relationship crises in a disappointing drama (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"The high energy of Papadimitropoulos’ direction stands out; so do stars Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough’s dedication"	POS
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"As the couple’s once-thrilling romance quickly wanes, so does the film (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"'Monday' offers two fearless performances from actors who are clearly ready and able to tackle challenging material. It’s a film that goes down smoothly at first, before offering a surprisingly powerful kick."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] isn’t structured to allow the central relationship to build dramatically."	NEU
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"There are many brilliant scenes. From one moment to the next, Papadimitropoulos makes the relationship seem vibrant, and then sour, then passionate again."	POS
United States	Marshall Shaffer The Playlist	"A film that succeeds at capturing the peaks and valleys of a relationship but sputters out when capturing the mundane moments in between"	NEU
United States	Paddy Mulholland Slant	"The film is unable to overcome the mundanity of its simple, overly familiar scenario (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"Sadly, Greek director Argyris Papadimitropoulos (…) soon trips over his script’s rabid incoherence. No reason to blame his two stars who give their all and then some to their sketchy roles"	NEU
