| Elevator Pitch | An itinerant fisherman who lives in a shack miles from town advertises for a housemaid, and is surprised when there is a response from an arthritic woman. He is advised to hire her, and so he does, but treats her badly. But despite her physical problems she is a determined and good humoured character, wjho after taking up painting becomes something of a celebrity. | ||
| Content | The relationship between the pair is mostly illustrated by their treks across the landscape, together, apart, on a cart behind a cart or in the pickup of the time. Maudie cleans, cooks and paints, and sleeps next to the man who becomes her husband in the roof of the shack. There is implied sex. | ||
| A View | It might help to read about this painter, and the shack, in itself a good story. Predicably a low cost drama shot in St John’s, Newfoundland (suitably bleak and attractive). Much loved already by the critics and there will be more I think. You could afford to snooze for a bit without losing track of the plot, so not everybody’s cup of tea. | ||
