Full Plot Details

1930's rural Nova Scotia. Maud Dowley, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, smokes heavily to deal with the pain. Because of her unusual gait from the arthritis, she is often mistaken as a stupid, incapable woman, that perception which does make her feel stupid and incapable. That view is held by her surviving family, her brother Charlie and her Aunt Ida with whom she lives. After an action by Charlie, Maud decides to seek some independence and is the only applicant for a posted job as housekeeper for brusque Everett Lewis, a poor fish seller. Despite not wanting to hire a cripple which only adds to their antagonism, Maud negotiates to get the job for room and board. Their antagonistic relationship ends up including Everett exacting beatings on Maud whenever she doesn't do what he wants. To keep herself happy, Maud begins to paint the interior of the house with happy pictures and paint similar pictures on small cards, these folk art pictures are how she wants to see the world. Maud's paintings come to the attention of one of Everett's customers, Sandra, a New York socialite, who ultimately commissions Maud to paint some pictures for her if Maud won't or can't sell what she's already painted. This begins Maud's possible independence from her violent relationship with Everett, who in turn admits that he may need Maud more than she needs him. In the process, Maud is able to revisit an issue from her past which she believed had long died in a literal sense.

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn inspiring portrait of the resilience of a crippled but immensely creative woman.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Peter KeoughThe story offers many opportunities for glibness and sentimentality. Walsh falls for none of them. She enhances the grimness of Lewis’s surroundings, but does not exploit it.
New York Observer - 10/10 by Thelma AdamsA gorgeous color palette and a tactile sensitivity to the emotions and intelligence of rural people help to create an organic work that integrates brilliant casting, yummy production and costume design, and fine cinematography.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordThe film can be sad, even brutal at times, yet also a touching testament to love's endurance and the joy one can find in one's own backyard.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Ben SachsThis Irish-Canadian drama tells the true story of Maud Lewis (played beautifully by Sally Hawkins).
Washington Post - 9/10 by Michael O'SullivanHawke is good at playing bad, but Hawkins is better, rendering, in Maudie, a portrait of a woman that feels raw, real and revelatory.
The Atlantic - 9/10 by David SimsMaudie's biggest success is Walsh's interest in depicting the environment from which art springs, rather than laying out some simple emotional cause for its generation.
Tolucan Times - 9/10 by Tony Medley...a heart-rending film to sit through but well worth it. Both Hawkins and Hawke give eye-popping performances but Hawkins, particularly, should be up for an Oscar(R)...one of the best movies of the year.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Robert AbeleUnlike the thick directness in Maud’s work, the movie about her is almost pointillist in detailing the tiny steps that make up an enduring marriage.
Georgia Straight - 9/10 by Ken EisnerThe simplicity of mixing creative crafts with everyday chores recalls the village life that dominated the planet for thousands of years, and the straightforward Maudie, an Irish-Canadian coproduction, pretty much sticks to that approach.
