Maud is a reclusive young nurse whose impressionable demeanour 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.
Critic Reviews:
- “Glass makes a number of savvy directorial choices throughout Saint Maud, and the sharpest is to limit what we see, hear, and know to her heroine's point of view.” – Adam Nayman (The Ringer)
- " I've seen Saint Maud twice and each time it found new ways to freak me out. Take the leap of faith. " – Philip De Semlyen (Time Out)
- " More than that I cannot say, other than to recommend “Saint Maud” even if your tastes run the other direction from horror films. " – Ty Burr (Boston Globe)
