And don’t get me started on when one of the seven she is playing is pretending to play another one of the seven she is playing! It’s acting upon acting within acting-and it makes Monday a terrific if little-seen, success. ![]() Which is a shame because Monday is a fantastic, cult-in-the-making genre film that combines high concept science-fiction, subtle(ish) allegory, and intense drama, featuring current Netflix gun-for-hire Noomi Rapace (this is one of three Netflix Originals she has starred in at this point) playing not one or two roles, but seven.
