Maudie is a biographical drama about Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis, a woman of diminutive stature and fierce resilience who finds beauty and purpose through painting despite hardship. Set in rural Nova Scotia, the film follows Maudie's long-suffering relationship with shy handyman Everett Lewis, played with tenderness by Ethan Hawke. Through luminous landscapes and vivid canvases, Sally Hawkins crafts a radiant portrait of creativity, poverty, love, and perseverance.
