Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 08/25/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Bob Mondello NPR 08/17/2017
Maud's life was constricted, but her gaze was expansive. And so is her movie. Go to Full Review

4/5
Maudie is a sad film about poor people, but it could scarcely be more open to benevolence and quiet humanism. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/13/2024
There's a lot harsh violence in their path towards mutual respect and love, though it somehow lands on an incredibly tender note. Go to Full Review
Michael Clark Epoch Times 01/30/2024
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. Go to Full Review

4.5/5

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 ? See more Georgan G @RT98616417 09/27/2023 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.
