Perhaps its because we see very little of her in the film or maybe because such a drastic solution is not that far outside the realms of possibility but the character feels a little watered down and one-dimensional which is a shame seeing as Close isn’t exactly a stranger to portraying the villain. Given the strength of the action and the calibre of its cast, ultimately the films fails to reach its full potential and winds up falling a little short.įrom Winslet’s Jeanine Matthews ( Divergent) to Julianne Moore’s President Coin ( Hunger Games), it seems as though cinema has real trouble fleshing out great female villains when it comes to dystopian futures, and unfortunately the same can be said for Glenn Close’s Nicolette Cayman. The story, interspersed with some impressive action sequences, moves along at a great pace and although some of its plot twists are a little predictable, they still land with great effect. What Happened To Monday presents a dystopian future much in the same vein as The Hunger Games and Divergent, and as someone who enjoys both, this film was a great way to pass the weekend. In order to maintain consistency and avoid detection from the Child Allocation Bureau, they meet every evening and share every single detail about their day but when Monday doesn’t come home one evening their entire existence in jeopardised and they must work together to figure out what happened to Monday.

Meanwhile, seven identical septuplets, named after the days of the week, circumvent the governmental decree by sharing a single identity – Karen Settman – and only venturing out into the world on their name day. In order to save the planet, political activist Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close) introduces a strict global one-child policy that sees any siblings cryogenically frozen until the world has recovered to sustain the population. In the not too distant future, overpopulation has caused the rapid depletion of the world’s resources putting humanity on the knife edge of distinction.
