A24 Picks Up Midnight Madness Movie 'Saint Maud'
A24 has picked up North American rights to Saint Maud, one of the buzziest movies from the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness program.
The pic centers on a pious but unstable nurse, Maud, who becomes convinced that she must save the soul of her dying employer, Amanda, as signs of eternal damnation begin to present themselves in their isolated seaside town. Morfydd Clark (Love & Friendship) stars as Maud, while Tony- and BAFTA Award-winning actress Jennifer Ehle (The Miseducation of Cameron Post) plays Amanda.
