Review of Maudie (2016) by Caleb M — 22 Apr 2017
A moving but heartbreaking tale, beautifully told, with small moments of wit and triumph. Maud Lewis' strength and intelligence shines through in Hawkins' performance. The film is beautifully shot in Newfoundland but that's also one of the disappointments, for Lewis lived her entire life in her beloved corner of southwest Nova Scotia, capturing the life and landscape of that place, yet those images are absent from the film.
No matter: full marks to the NL Film Development Corp for helping to make sure this uplifting story was told.
