What Movies Will It Remind You Of?: Monday‘s dreamy, steamy summer vibes evoke Call Me By Your Name and A Bigger Splash a bit, though the stories are obviously quite different, and its attempt at capturing a romantic moment in time also might bring to mind the Before Sunrise trilogy.
“Monday” is a riff on Richard Linklater’s “Before Sunrise” (and its sequels), and Andrew Haigh’s “Weekend,” films in which romance blossoms for a mere moment in time.
Cinema master Richard Linklater did it best with “Before Sunrise” and two subsequent films starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

This is done with more sex scenes in the first 20 minutes than there might be in an entire entry for a Fifty Shades of Grey movie, occasionally in the most outlandish of public places such as in a car after reaching a roadblock.
