A young woman who takes care of the sick becomes obsessed in her loneliness with saving the soul of those in her care.
'Saint Maud' is a powerful drama with horror accents. Artistical as possible, with an aesthetic that stands out, the film is complex and subtle, being ambiguous in the supernatural appearance of the character, addressing many a theme that include the effects of loneliness, of delaying treatment in cases of melancholic mental problems or the harmful effect of religion when tackled with an interpretive approach to explain what is wrong with the world. The film benefits from an exceptional direction that gives the viewer the freedom to interpret what they see up until the penultimate moment.
