Saint Maud, 2017, A24 & MGM

St. Maud is a tense, unsettling character study about a deeply devout hospice nurse whose new patient—a once-famous dancer now facing the end of her life—stirs an intense and troubling spiritual mission. As Maud's faith becomes more fervent, her reality begins to blur, leading to a haunting exploration of loneliness, purpose, and devotion. It's quiet, intimate, and unnervingly psychological, leaving you unsure of where faith ends and obsession begins.

Production budget of approximately $2.5 million

Gross earnings approximately $1.6 million worldwide
