What happened to Monday?

How did Monday turn out? Parents would benefit from knowing this novel, set in 1520, is set in an authoritarian, repressive society in which families were restricted to having one child each.520. Noomi Rapace plays seven characters in a film about an abandoned family of septuplets fifty years ago. The Emmy-nominated actress gives each character their own identity, their own personality, and their own strengths and flaws. Nicolette Cayman is portrayed by Glenn Close as a woman who institutes the One-Child Policy in an effort to deal with both overpopulation and famine. Cryogenically freezing children with two or more parents will allow them to be reunited with their families once they are turned over to the government.

The events of Monday:

•    Rapace, despite having far fewer resources at her disposal, manages to do a good job with this sci-fi curiosity, which starts with a clever idea but fails to develop it deeply.
•    Sept-siblings share one outward identity, but a seventh sister is missing.
•    They hide from the government and powerful people who would kill them if they were discovered.
•    Films like this often contain suspense, jeopardy, or graphic violence.
•    Genetically modified foods are used to solve food shortages caused by overpopulation in the novel.
•    Despite this solution, multiple births have increased, and overpopulation is once again the greatest threat to human life.

On Monday, there were several events:

•    Throughout the movie, there is an overpopulation problem, and so there is only one child allowed per family.
•    The government also places any siblings in cryosleep, where they remain until the Earth can cope with the overwhelming number of people.
•    Terence Settman, played by Willem Dafoe, hides his granddaughters' identity from the Child Allocation Bureau in order to protect them. While there are some clichés in the film, she remains the movie's captivating centerpiece as she switches from one character to another within the confines of a fast-paced action scene.
•    Even though it doesn't save the film from mediocrity, the gimmick of her performance injects it with a constant source of fascination.
•    Rapace has seven roles in the sci-fi thriller 'What Happened to Monday.' A ruthless government enforces a one-child policy against Rapace's children.

The question posed in the title isn't the only thing explored in "What Happened to Monday?" Other days of the week are also addressed. The siblings live in isolation in a fascist society in which it is forbidden to exist on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc. Three decades earlier, a world that was overburdened implemented the policy of one child per family. Each has a special name that corresponds to a certain day of the week and is only allowed outside on those days. The sisters collectively assume the role of their mother in the film, portrayed by Noomi Rapace's Karen Settman. On the one hand, the story feels as if it did not receive further development; almost as if it is defiantly refusing to create characters that do not feel like mere devices or a world that is three-dimensional. The pace is fantastic, but despite the great set-pieces wired in by Wirkola, there is little to recommend it as entertainment, considering the potential of the work.
