MAUDIE

DIRECTOR: Aisling Walsh CAST: Ethan Hawke, Sally Hawkins Based on the true story of Canadian folk artist Maud Dowley, Maudie is the kind of biopic that’ll have you googling to learn everything about this extraordinary and inspiring woman. Shunned by her family and community, cleaning lady Maud (Sally Hawkins, in her best role yet) who suffers with rheumatoid arthritis, spruces up fisherman Everett’s (Ethan Hawke) house with beautiful paintings. When her work is discovered by a visiting New Yorker, she becomes famous, with her art even hanging in the White House. A poignant triumph.
