Drama. Mystery. Horror Maud is a reclusive young nurse whose impressionable demeanor causes her to pursue a pious path of Christian devotion after an obscure trauma. Now charged with the hospice care of Amanda, a retired dancer ravaged by cancer, Maud's fervent faith quickly inspires an obsessive conviction that she must save her ward's soul from eternal damnation - whatever the cost

	Media	Author	Review
		Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A hugely individual, distinctly British piece (...) with a strong female focus and clear potential to cross borders between arthouse and upmarket horror sectors"
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"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."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"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"
		Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting	"Slow, and moody, and gorgeous, and powerful. It’s simply good cinema (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Morfydd Clark is superb as a troubled caregiver in this extraordinarily scary horror melodrama (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ian Freer Empire	"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)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"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)"
