Given Maud's strong religious beliefs the two clash but she is determined to stay the course and save Amanda's soul.
CW: self harm, body horror, rape, blasphemy worthy of mention if you're remotely Christian, suicide
Oof.
Morfydd Clark is amazing as a traumatised young woman wracked by religious ecstasy and driven by personal revelation.
Her obsession with her charge quickly becomes unhealthy as you'd expect from this kind of movie but it's a compelling vision of misguided faith. Jennifer Ehle is good as the difficult and bitter dying star and it uses horror elements sparingly to get you to a conclusion that is both well telegraphed and not. Picking a grim seaside location where people seek fleeting moments of release or empty joy fits the rest of the piece perfectly.
Highly recommended 9/10 but it's a grim portrait of the final gyrations of a downward spiral that you need to be in the mood for.
