Hey all:

I just watched Maudie. This film is really powerful and sad and happy and uplifting. I strongly suggest it.

UL, I loved this and thought the acting was superb..Imagine how she had to strive to get the voice and body language just right.. Good Canadian Maritimer characters. Several friends had received some of her cards but to their great regret, they enjoyed them but didn't keep them.

I saw the trailer for this in the movie theater and unfortunately, cant see how my extreme dislike for Sally Hawkins could be overcome. But I am glad that you all enjoyed it.

Hawkins was the heroine in the worst adaptation of a Jane Austen work I have ever seen. And then there was a flm where she played someone preternaturally happy. i think the film was called Happy or Happy Happy. It was also unwatchable.

Come now, you would hate the film where she is happy happy happy all the time. Admit it.

I saw it in the local theatre as part of their special Toronto Film Festival program were we get one TIFF film per month shown. Watched some really interesting ones.

Went to the budget theater today and saw it. I found it VERY depressing!

It is the question that matters most. I worry about people who don't ask why.

I could have said +1 to your post but simply added another why. I didn't find it depressing but inspirational how someone with challenges can find a path that gives purpose and worth to life.

My apologies. I misunderstood. I thought you were lamenting why I asked why. haha

I agree with your sentiments above!

I founds it depressing in how poorly she was treated. And, at the end... won't spoil it for others..... I felt sad quite a while afterwards. DH felt the same. Definitely was not a feel good movie.

You did not see the element of uplift in there at all?

Sally Hawkins stars in s new film The Shape of Water which has every element I like, and it is a Guillermo Del Toro film. So, I will have to see it. It is a romantic film about a humanoid monster, a sci fi film.

Here is hoping she does not completely ruin this film for me.

I'd like to see Maudie...

But also, I just learned that Hugh Jackman is playing P.T. Barnum in a movie out this Christmas. I'd love to see that. I might even go to the movies to see it--haven't been in a movie theatre in ages. But Hugh Jackman playing P.T. Barnum? Awesome. Plus, P.T. Barnum founded the hospital I was born in, so I feel a bit of kinship with him.
