Set in Nova Scotia, this is the mostly true story of the famous folk artist Maude Everett. Suffering from severe arthritis and betrayed by her family, Maudie makes her own way by getting hired as a housekeeper and selling her beautiful folk art. This is a powerful, tender, and memorable movie. Because of how everyone treats her, it is a little painful and hard to watch. It has given me a great desire to go back to Halifax and see her paintings and home.
