On the big screen: Maudie

The true story of a Canadian folk painter.

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Sally Hawkins and Greg Mallone.

Director: Aisling Walsh.

Maudie, based on a true story, is an unlikely romance in which the reclusive Everett Lewis hires a fragile yet determined woman named Maudie to be his housekeeper.

Maud, 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. Maudie charts Everett’s efforts to protect himself from being hurt, Maud’s deep and abiding love for this difficult man and her surprising rise to fame as a folk painter.
