Three questions

Is What Happened to Monday scary?
Only a little. What Happened to Monday has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is What Happened to Monday?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is What Happened to Monday rated, and is it OK for kids?
Rated R, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and some strong language. Not one for kids.

What is What Happened to Monday about?

In a world where families are limited to one child due to overpopulation, a set of identical septuplets must avoid being put to a long sleep by the government and dangerous infighting while investigating the disappearance of one of their own.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
