Summary

A nurse finds herself at a crossroads in both her personal life and career when a patient in her care dies after her attempts to give them CPR fail. She decides to make some wholesale changes, including becoming a devout Roman Catholic and even going so far as to change her name. She finds a job caring for a terminally ill atheist woman and resolves that her new mission in life is to not only provide palliative care her, but to also save her charge's 'godless soul' from an eternity with Satan. Horror, starring Morfydd Clark and Jennifer Ehle

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Emma Simmonds

Religious fervour and mental instability align provocatively in the discomfiting feature debut of writer/director Rose Glass. Set in an uninspiring British seaside town, the film follows palliative care nurse Maud (Morfydd Clark) as she embarks on a new assignment tending to a dying former dancer (Jennifer Ehle). The mouse-like Maud seizes the opportunity to apply her newfound Christian zeal to the situation, taking it upon herself to save her patient's soul. The confrontational relationship between an easily appalled, intensely alienated carer and her bitter and stubbornly scandalous siren of a patient is fascinating, and it's a shame there's not more time for it to be explored. Still, Saint Maud is blazing, spiralling stuff, announcing its director in ferocious style, with a scenario that's apocalyptically rendered by cinematographer Ben Fordesman, while its tortured protagonist is brought to vivid life by a sensationally committed Clark. It all amounts to a film that will stay with you; whether you want it to or not.
