A nurse's devotion to God curdles into something far more dangerous. "Saint Maud" follows a private palliative care nurse whose obsession with saving her dying patient's soul spirals into religious mania, closing out The Next Reel's Horror Debuts series. Rose Glass directs her feature debut, starring Morfydd Clark and Jennifer Ehle.
Pete and Andy land in genuinely different places on this one, split by how the story shifts at its midpoint, though they're fully aligned on the strength of both lead performances. It's a fitting, argument-filled way to close out the series. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in—The Next Reel on TruStory FM, when the movie ends, our conversation begins!
