Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe fully restored house of Maud Lewis is on permanent display in Halifax at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The decorated house was saved from deterioration by a group of concerned local citizens, that went through a 25 year-long struggle to maintain the house.
- GoofsThe paint "tins" that Maudie is using look like modern aluminum pull-tab type containers not old sardine tin cans.
- Quotes
Mr. Davis (Shopkeeper): I don't know why people pay money for these, my five-year-old could do better.
Everett Lewis: Maybe. Maybe he could, but he didn't - Maud did. Brushes, please.
[slaps the coins on the counter]
Everett Lewis: You're an idiot.
- Crazy creditsA brief clip in the end credits shows the real Maud Lewis with husband, Everett, from a 1976 black and white short, "Maud Lewis: A World Without Shadows."

Featured review
For me, this is the reason I go to the movies. Always in the expectation that when I walk out of the theater I simply will not be touching the ground. This does not happen frequently, but with "Maudie" the magic occurred. An amazing story eloquently told. Sally Hawkins is superb, touching and profoundly human. Ethan Hawke is at his best. There is a believable chemistry between these battered beings. When they do take flight, they soar over this crude grandiose landscape so beautifully captured on film.
It's early, but the award community have a sure bet in this unforgettable gem.
