Disaster seems inevitable, but what makes Saint Maud so nail-bitingly tense is that it's impossible to guess the form in which it'll come...

St. Maud marks a stunning feature film debut for writer-director Rose Glass. Understated yet opulent, measured, and intensely creepy, it's a tour de force in balancing uncomfortable levels of tension and suspense with deep pathos.

Glass makes a number of savvy directorial choices throughout Saint Maud, and the sharpest is to limit what we see, hear, and know to her heroine's point of view.

The last act really ups the tension because of the uncertainty of how it is going to end, and when it comes it is deeply disturbing and satisfying.

Saint Maud is a terrifying exploration of what happens when we seemingly find our path illuminated — and what darkness we’ll embrace if it means getting that much closer to the light.

Slow burner with an amazing crescendo at the end! Was it all just in her head? Who knows and does it really make a difference???

Different. Intriguing. Thought provoking. A brilliant watch. Very well written and well shot. Everything just works, telling the story beautifully. The VFX are subtle but not sensationalist so they add to the narrative perfectly. Brilliant

Surrealistic character study with echoes of Taxi Driver, Exorsist, Carrie and a few others. Mildly interesting and worth a watch if your in the mood for such a thing,

People will call anything slow these days that isn’t instantly gratifying. What makes this movie so good is the slow burn. It’s painful, horrifying, and disturbing. Freaked me tf out.

Sit back and enjoy this psychological slow burn! It may feel dull at first, but the train is simply gathering speed before it flies off the rails. Fresh and cerebal. Is the central conflict saint vs sinner, real evil vs mental health, and/or the id vs the superego? I will be checking discussion forums and rewatching this one!
