Because of its graphic depictions and general philosophy of the homeless situation in L.A. and really all over the country, Monday Morning has sometimes been very polarizing and off-putting with some viewers, while highly praised by others for the very same elements. 

Critics have given "Monday Morning" such kudos as:

"Bold and haunting... Nat Christian amalgamates the elements of drama, thriller politics, social commentary and magical realism" ... NYC Movie Guru

ABOUT MONDAY MORNING - Using 140 actors and shot in L.A. and Minnesota the movie is about a right wing Minnesota radio host, running for U.S. Senate, who goes to L.A., loses his memory and becomes homeless among L.A.'s hardcore homeless community. MONDAY MORNING was shot around SKID ROW during one of the heaviest rainfalls in L.A.'s recorded history.
