Maudie
"Maudie" is a 2016 biographical drama film directed by Aisling Walsh and starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke.
A co-production of Ireland and Canada, it is about the life of folk artist Maud Lewis, who painted in Nova Scotia. In the story, Maud, played by Sally Hawkins, struggles with rheumatoid arthritis, the memory of a lost child, and a family that doubts her abilities, before moving in with a surly fish peddler as a housekeeper. Despite their differing personalities, they marry as her art gains in popularity.
The film was shot in Newfoundland and Labrador, requiring a re-creation of Lewis' famously small house.
Premiered in 2016, the film won a number of festival awards, seven Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture, and three Irish Film & Television Awards, including Best Director and Best International Actor for Ethan Hawke.
