As Maud's mental state spirals out of control, the film becomes both more surreal and more poetic, culminating in a shocking finale that sent a shiver through the Fantastic Fest audience. Oct 7, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Rose Glass' taut and trembling Saint Maud transmutes a young woman's spiritual crisis into such a refined story of body horror that genre fans might feel like they're having a religious experience. Sep 12, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

That's the basic outline of Rose Glass's feature directorial debut, a thriller that has one thing on its mind - the road to fanaticism leads directly to Hell - but doesn't quite provoke as much as it thinks it does. Sep 12, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Maud is like Carrie White and her mother Margaret rolled into one unholy holy terror; as played with brilliant, blood-freezing intensity by Morfydd Clark, she's a genre anti-heroine to cherish, protect and recoil from, sometimes all at once. Sep 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Saint Maud may move slowly and deliberately, but [Morfydd] Clark makes sure we are always in her character's capable hands -- whether we want to be or not. Oct 4, 2019 | Full Review…

A striking and sure to be controversial psychological thriller; a nerve wracking depiction of a young nurse's crisis of faith pitched somewhere between First Reformed and the gory self discovery of Julia Ducorneau's Raw. Oct 4, 2019 | Full Review…

Saint Maud's conjuration of wild daylight visions and spiritual torments skilfully blurs the line between a possible medical condition and outright madness, while also slyly suggesting that the film's heroine may in fact be possessed. Oct 2, 2019 | Full Review…
