Maudie
Triumph epitomizes adversity
Another humble biopic about an artist whose work outlived her quiet struggles. A shy, arthritic woman takes a job with a gruff fish seller in 1940s Nova Scotia and slowly transforms his whitewashed house—and life—with her painted flowers and birds. The film itself is cozy to a fault, like a greeting card come to life.
