Without love, there is no purpose.
MAUDIE, is based on the true story of arthritic folk artist Maud and the unlikely romance between Maud and a hardened reclusive bachelor. An unlikely romance in which the reclusive Everett Lewis hires a fragile yet determined woman named Maudie to be his housekeeper. Maudie, bright-eyed but hunched with crippled hands, yearns to be independent, to live away from her protective family and she also yearns, passionately, to create art. Unexpectedly, Everett finds himself falling in love
Critic Reviews
“It tells the poignant true story of Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis,
whose famously naïve, but charming paintings garnered the humble native of Nova
Scotia world-wide celebrity.”

“Hawkins is one of the greats and, along with Hawke at his gruffest,
makes Maudie a best-case biopic.”
– Thrillist
“The film can be sad, even brutal at times, yet also a touching
testament to love's endurance and the joy one can find in one's own
backyard.”
