Sinopsis(1)
Maud Dowley (Sally Hawkins) es una alegre y vivaz mujer que sueña con independizarse de su protectora familia. Everett Lewis (Ethan Hawke) es un huraño pescador local que busca asistenta. Tras ver su anuncio, Maudie no tarda en mudarse a la pequeña y aislada casa de Everett para encargarse de las tareas del hogar. Pero lo que comienza siendo una difícil convivencia entre dos polos opuestos va poco a poco transformándose en una bonita historia de amor. (Karma Films)

Nothing beats honest biopics of people you knew nothing about, but they enter your soul during the two hours thanks to their uniqueness, and you will never forget them. The story of this folk painter is one of these. Simply a beautiful film where Ethan Hawke shows off acting-wise and Sally Hawkins for a change proved that you can fall in love with her as well. ()
A very well handled relationship drama (based on a true story) between a physically disabled woman and a mentally unbalanced lonely man, where in the end the greatest joy they share, overcoming all their sorrows, is painting cute pictures. Sally Hawkins' masterful performance was to be expected, but Ethan Hawke, in an uncharacteristic role for him, was a very pleasant surprise. The minimalist feel and overall spare production design excels where it's expected. There are beautiful shots of the Nova Scotia landscape and the gentle strumming of some sort of stringed instrument. ()
I had no idea I would enjoy this almost-biopic so much, but I did. I guess it's because the serious/tragic story also included subtle humor and very good acting performances on the part of the two protagonists. I don’t know how but those 115 minutes just raced by, despite practically zero action unless you count the trips from the house to the city and back. I had a good time all along. I like films that make me want to find out more about the story. I knew nothing about Maude Lewis, but I do now. ()
A very good film, with good enough actors chosen for a strong theme, and they were able to present it well. Ethan Hawke's character is quite easy to hate, yet here he is a man who is supposed to experience a romantic relationship. The character of Maudie (again, the great Sally Hawkins) is also not a classic romance protagonist, and their relationship thus has an even stronger impact on the viewer. ()
