"Maudie" may lack some scenes that make the audience feel goosebumps in retrospect, but this is also the spirit conveyed by this film, a most "bland and innocent" moving. Unlike many biographies of famous painters, the film does not require the audience to know the painter in advance, and it doesn't matter how well-known she is in the history of painting. Director Aisleen Walsh shoots in a loose timeline sequence, and the film doesn't clearly emphasize the time span. In Hawkins' performance, the audience sees how Maudie's physical difficulties have shaped her character, she lifts her head sunk in her shoulders and gives a strange but innocent, strong smile, it's a subtle performance , if you go too far, it will destroy the character. But Hawkins' expression truly conveys that kind of ordinary and simple

It turned out to be a romantic love movie. A man and a woman, who are marginalized people in society, have lived together for 30 years, learning how to tolerate each other and how to love each other. The film is very delicate and does not have a strong directing style. It just gives people the feeling of telling the story, and puts all the energy on shaping the characters. Not only has the role of Mo Di been created, her husband Everett is even more three-dimensional than the role of Mo Di, and Sally Hawkins' performance is worthy of an Oscar.

It's either the kind of intensely ambitious film that tells the story without a trace, about love and contentment, with flesh-and-blood characters leading the audience forward, and ultimately down to the depths of emotion. As a work based on real characters, the screenwriter not only shows the heroine's painting talent, but also focuses on the relationship between her and her husband. The kind of little luck that is on the edge is very touching. Sally Hawkins' performance is very powerful.
