"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
