Comments about drama «Saint Maud» (264)
There, but for the grace of God, goes Maud, a reclusive young nurse whose impressionable demeanor causes her to pursue a pious path of Christian devotion after an obscure trauma. Now charged with the hospice care of Amanda, a retired dancer ravaged by cancer, Maud's fervent faith quickly inspires an obsessive conviction that she must save her ward's soul from eternal damnation - whatever the cost. Making her feature film debut, writer-director Rose Glass cannily lures the audience into this disturbed psyche, steadily setting up her veritable diary of a country nurse for an unnerving and ultimately shocking trajectory. Morfydd Clark (also at the Festival in The Personal History of David Copperfield) portrays the sanctimonious Maud with an intense stoicism that belies a disquieting vulnerability, as Maud desperately vies for absolution and solidarity from her embittered patient (an enthralling Jennifer Ehle, also at the Festival in Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies). Glass tenderly captures this relationship with an empathetic gaze that first assumes an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere - but it isn't long before Maud's dogmatic candor incites an irreconcilable friction that spirals her mind into a suffocating confluence of creeping doubt and paranoia. As Glass tightens the screws on her misguided martyr, well-placed nods are made to religious horror forerunners like William Friedkin's The Exorcist, further contributing to the film's increasingly dread-filled malaise. And when this insidious fever climatically breaks, the consequences are devastating and terrifying in equal measure.
Amazing piece of true Brilliant Drama on So Many Levels!
great story & performance
This movie is everything I had hoped it to be and far, far more. Literally every choice they made while making it was a right one.
Really great movie!
I loved this movie and I really would love to see a sequel or a show based on this new storyline. The casting for the characters is great and all of the characters portray their characters really well. Lily Frazer and Jennifer Ehle give memorable performances
I had heard great reviews, but wasn't expecting to love it. Turns out, it was as good as people were saying!
great from start to finish
Enjoy an amazing movie for exactly what it is.........AMAZING!
It is not an "entertaining" movie. It is a creation of a Masterpiece.
