Glenda Jackson’s performance was a Tour de Force. The story line is original and the film well written. Glenda’s portrayal of Maud, a person suffering with Dementia was poignant and well researched, so many other roles with the same illness just show the obvious symptoms, but here we see many others that are not so understood by many. Maud, with this as a handicap, tries to solve the puzzle of her only friend that has gone missing.
