To pain and love in Nova Scotia


Maudie (2016)

Directed by Aisling Walsh this biographical film based on the life of folk painter Maud Lewis stars Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke. A woman that has suffered with physical disability from a young age goes to live with a rough fish seller as his house maid.

Touching and an unusual look into the world of art the highlight of this film is Sally Hawkins physically demanding performance in the title role. While this film is enjoyable and touching there are elements that make you question how authentic it is. Whatever the case this is a good watch none the less.

3/5
