What a masterpiece! I just loved everything about this film. And the actress was far beyond the excellence. You can feel all the pain, happiness, sorrow, love, hurt by her of the real Maudie! I cried in half of the movie. She never got so called beautiful life but her imaginations, her painting were all about beauty and lots of colors. Heartless people only can nit like this movie. And I pity them. I am glad Maud felt loved as she said in the end.
