Critics Consensus

Maudie's talented cast -- particularly Sally Hawkins in the title role -- breathe much-needed depth into a story that only skims the surface of a fascinating life and talent.

3/5

Both writer and director set out in search of a heroine. They're so intent on crafting a legend, they leave out the uncomfortable bits. They do her and us a disservice in that respect.

Maud's life was constricted, but her gaze was expansive. And so is her movie.

4/5

Maudie is a sad film about poor people, but it could scarcely be more open to benevolence and quiet humanism.

There's a lot harsh violence in their path towards mutual respect and love, though it somehow lands on an incredibly tender note.

4.5/5

If your day isn’t going well because a barista got your coffee order wrong or you waited too long in line at the grocery store, step back, take stock, and thank your maker you weren’t tested like Ms. Lewis. You’d likely fold like a deck chair.

It is a life-affirming movie that feels both tragic and beautiful.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Simply a work of art. Hawkins is stupendous. The directing is spot on. The photography is really good. The story is well laid out. Did I say how excellent Hawkins is ?

A story of art, love & life. The true story of Maud Lewis isn't exactly what happened in the film, but the plot was touching. A most unconventional film.
