☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “a magnificent slow-burner, a portrait of a woman headed toward an apocalypse of the self” - The Independent

“Forget Tenet, Saint Maud is the film that should tempt you back into cinemas” - Esquire

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Nightmare on Film Street“ Saint Maud is an atmospheric ballet of one lonely mind yearning to connect. Eerie, vague and wickedly delightful from start to haunting end, Maud will have even veteran horror fans wrapped up in the dance.”

“it’s one hell of a debut for Rose Glass, who arrives to features fully formed, as elegantly poised between hardness and delicacy as her name” Guy Lodge - Variety

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Den of Geek
“a strange, gorgeous, and deeply disturbing chiller”

“a terrific performance from Jennifer Ehle and a bold, quietly nerve-shredding lead from Morfydd Clark, this is a hugely individual, distinctly British piece of genre-tweaking with a strong female focus and clear potential to cross borders between arthouse and upmarket horror sectors.” Jonathan Romney - Screen International

“it's clear Glass knows exactly what she's doing as she keeps adding thin layers of meaning and texture to the narrative. This smart, sinister work represents a very arresting calling card which augurs very well for her future prospects.” Leslie Felperin - Hollywood Reporter

“Ehle is riveting and electric as Amanda… Clark plays Maude as devastatingly fragile… Saint Maud’s impact only gets stronger as it brews, building to a stunning, shocking finale” - Collider

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Joe Lipsett - Bloody Disgusting
“Saint Maud is slow, and moody, and gorgeous, and powerful.”

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Meredith Borders - SlashFilm
“Ehle gives a powerful performance as Amanda, full of rage at her condition and amusement at Maud’s reverence… Clark is a find and a half, giving us moments of Sissy Spacek’s Carrie, all vulnerability and blackness. And Saint Maud certainly brings to mind De Palma’s film, as well as Friedkin’s The Exorcist. But even with her influences firmly in place, Glass creates something utterly her own, a female-forward examination of trauma, religion, sexuality and shame.”

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Cinevue
“Saint Maud is the dive into obsession, isolation and urban deprivation that you need right now.”

“But the very best film in [Midnight Madness] might have premiered on Sunday night, when Rose Glass’s Saint Maud was unleashed … It’s a slow-burn genre-shifter that lulls you into a sense of complacency early on with its quiet kindness, right up until it T-bones your fucking sinuses with some of the gnarliest religious horror in years.” - Vanyaland

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - ScifiNow
”Carried by a stellar performance from Morfydd Clark in the lead role, Saint Maud is a seamless experience of pure horror pleasure.”

“a divine Morfydd Clark… an extraordinary Jennifer Ehle … 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.” - Indiewire
