Saint Maud
Overview
Writer-director Rose Glass' psychological horror film stars Morfydd Clark, Jennifer Ehle, and Lily Knight. Maud (Clark), a young hospice nurse who recently experienced an intense religious conversion, becomes singularly obsessed with the idea of securing her dying patient's salvation. The latter – a once-famed dancer and choreographer, now bedridden by disability and illness – underestimates her caretaker's ideological fervor to her detriment.
