"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

Instead of focusing on Maud's illness and her artistic career, the film spends most of its time portraying her relationship with her husband, but this trade-off is not well-captured, leaving the narrative confusing at the micro level, including the illness. The influence and artistic creation of these non-main factors that can enhance the shaping of the protagonist and the portrayal of the situation have not been rewarded as they should. Even if the performance is excellent, this lack makes it difficult for the narrative to truly enter the heart of the character.
