Critics' reviews

"It's clear Glass knows exactly what she's doing (...)This smart, sinister work represents a very arresting calling card which augurs very well for her future prospects."

Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s one hell of a debut for Rose Glass (...) 'Saint Maud' is no less thoughtful or compassionate for being dressed up — very stylishly, let it be said — in the trappings of horror"

Guy Lodge: Variety
"Slow, and moody, and gorgeous, and powerful. It’s simply good cinema (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Joe Lipsett: Bloody Disgusting
"A hugely individual, distinctly British piece (...) with a strong female focus and clear potential to cross borders between arthouse and upmarket horror sectors"

Jonathan Romney: Screendaily
"Morfydd Clark is superb as a troubled caregiver in this extraordinarily scary horror melodrama (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"Place your faith in Saint Maud. Original, unsettling and surprisingly moving, it’s a strong calling card for filmmaker Rose Glass (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Ian Freer: Empire
"A skin-prickling horror to restore your faith in cinema (...) Morfydd Clark finds God – or does she? – in this dread-filled, hallucinatory and brilliant British debut (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Robbie Collin: Telegraph
