Saint Maud

2020 · 85 min

An intimate, unsettling descent into religious obsession that burrows under your skin and lingers with a haunting, ambiguous final image.

Tagline: Your Savior is Coming
Overview: Having recently found God, self-effacing young nurse Maud arrives at a plush home to care for Amanda, a hedonistic dancer left frail from a chronic illness. When a chance encounter with a former colleague throws up hints of a dark past, it becomes clear there is more to sweet Maud than meets the eye.
