Maudie (2017)

Fantastic!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

That was a wonderful, must see movie! It was very refreshing to see a movie not about special effects and explosions but about the depth of human feeling and creativity. The acting was outstanding, spot on! I could really feel all the characters and their personality. The story is full of beauty, sadness, wonder, amazement and love. A very touching movie.

When I walked out of the theatre with my two friends, my first comment was why can't Americans make good films like this? I have become so disgusted with about 96% of contemporary American films that I won't to to a theatre. This films the opposite (Yes, I know that kids won't like Maudie). Almost all of the positive user reviews capture what I feel. I do note that the fact the film does not tell us that her parents had died. What her brother did is in the film.The film tells that she had a daughter. It does not tell that her daughter was born out of wedlock and that her partner abandoned her and her baby. I feel this is just a tiny bit that comprehensively adds to the story. I don't understand why I have to go to film society presentations to see good films like this, but going to film society presentation is a much more pleasant than contemporary complexes.

Words are too pale to describe this. The film is an emotional masterpiece in every way. The two of them nailed it with acting! A touching story and something well worth seeing.10000/10000 Highly recommend to anyone who needs some spiritual enlightenment.Thank you Ethan Hawke and Sally Hawkins for making this believable and so touching. Thank you!

An arthritic Nova Scotia woman works as a housekeeper while she hones her skills as an artist and eventually becomes a beloved figure in the community. If it wasn't for Sally Hawkins i don't think that i would have liked this film i mean her acting is brilliant from the way she moves, the way she talks and above all her facial expressions and the fact that she portrays such an interesting figure. Although i must admit i hated Ethan Hawke's character and the fact that he treated Nova like garbage and he was leaving her walk all those miles on her own but this is still an amazing film regardless it's flaws. (8/10)
