8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Powerful "Saint Maud" portrays faith and madness where the young protagonist oscillates between self-harm and megalomania against the backdrop of a drowsy British seaside town. Morfydd Clark is something of a revelation in the title role.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Saint Maud" is a terrible nightmare about healthcare that turns from medical to fanatical, religious unreasonableness.
- Jan-Eje FerlingSwedish: filmeye.se »

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: From the dialogue to the original music, everything interacts in a thrilling existential drama about the emptiness of our time of non-belief.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Saint Maud is a genuinely unsettling and gripping psychological thriller that dares to keep the audience on the edge of their seats until the very end in order to ultimately frighten even the most hardened viewers. It is highly likely that it will become a future horror classic.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Saint Maud" has many powerful moments and brilliant performances. But I'm more curious about what the evidently talented director will come up with if she broadens the horizons from religious fanaticism.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: With her debut feature film, director Rose Glass explores the relationship between a devout nurse and the elderly, cancer-stricken woman she is caring for. The performance is brilliant from lead actress Morfydd Clark in a film that could have easily been a little longer.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Better than your typical mainstream horror movie with a thousand jump scares.
- Linus AndersenSwedish: cinetaste.se »
-
6 / 10
Translated from swedish: It's a kind of psychological thriller, but it really never makes me curious or tense.

Translated from swedish: In a way, it's a provocative satire about the blindness of religious fanatics to reality and death. A thriller that slowly builds up mood and atmosphere. You know that something terrible is going to happen, but not what, when, and how.
