Over the past few years, the stellar British-born actress Sally Hawkins has been working steadily, but it’s been quite a while since she’s gotten a role that allowed her to steer a whole movie the way her critical-breakthrough lead in Mike Leigh’s 2008 “Happy Go Lucky” did. With “Maudie,” she has that and more.

Maudie paints a charming icon's modest portrait.
2864d ago
Ultimately, the labored romance overshadows Maude’s art, and the saccharinity throughout is just too sentimental to bear. There seems to be a tiny gem of a character study hidden inside Walsh’s film, but unfortunately “Maudie” and its at-odds tones just don’t work. It’s a film that one can actively admire, but its difficult to fully embrace.

It’s a real shame that Walsh decides to concentrate a big chunk of her movie on the stilted love affair between Everett and Maud, in a relationship that starts aggressively intriguing, but becomes the definition of saccharine by its climax. It’s a predictable romance that nearly overshadows the detailed, fascinating character drama within.

Stick with the movie for its leads, Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke, a beautifully matched pair who open up two closed people, unleashing torrents of feeling.

Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke can’t prop up the artist biopic Maudie.
2864d ago
Sally Hawkins stars as Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis and Ethan Hawke as her grumpy husband in this intimate two-hander premiering at Telluride.
2864d ago
Rather than tell the true story of its fascinating heroine — an arthritic Canadian artist — the film settles for predictable, underwritten romance.
2864d ago
Sally Hawkins delves past Maud Lewis' arthritis-stricken exterior to capture the inner spirit of the Canadian folk artist in this modest biopic.
2864d ago
Maudie is hit-or-miss, but you’ll probably bawl anyway.
2864d ago
This biopic of Canadian painter Maud Lewis sticks by its less-is-more ethos to the end, but Hawkins and Ethan Hawke turn a tragic tale into an absorbing one.
2864d ago
Sally Hawkins stars as fictionalized version of Maude Lewis in Aisling Walsh’s feature about the Canadian folk painter.
2864d ago
Maud Lewis herself couldn’t paint a hurricane that would blow the film’s overburdened narrative off course.
