Older and better
By sadako from sussex , 27 May 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
A little dated now but Hal Ashby’s comedy about a maudlin young man and his relationship with a young-at-heart octagenarian is short, sweet and leaves you feeling a better person for having watched it.
Maude is irreverent, spontaneous and beautiful and Ruth Gordon does her full justice. In a lesser directors lap this story would come across as absurd and ridiculous. Hal Ashby, as ever, is simple and sly in his humour and is able to say a lot with very little. Some of the set pieces seem a little jaded after thirty years but others are hilarious, not least Maude’s encounter with the police. Cat Stevens provides a jaunty soundtrack. At an hour and twenty five minutes you could get two of these into a Lord of the Rings, about £100,000,000 in change and learn a lot more about life, war and love.- Was this review helpful to you?

Strange but good strange
By MikePoole (24 reviews) , 05 Sep 2012Weird as hell and very off-beat what what a fantastic film. It would be considered strange even now, years after it was released but so interesting, well acted and filmed. Highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ahead of its time. Good music from Cat Stevens too..
By Steve from Swindon , 04 Jul 2012I watched this recently.. about 35 years after I first saw it. It was ahead of its time and is still very enjoyable. I had forgotten that Cat Stevens did the music on this one which was a real bonus when I sat down to see it a second time. The story and acting is unusual and its both an amusing and touching story.- Was this review helpful to you?

Entertaining fun
By Malgy (3 reviews) , 27 Jun 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
One of my favourite films ever. It is simply entertaining and fun to watch with completely over the top characters.- Was this review helpful to you?

Alternative attitudes of an era
By a customer , 05 Jun 2012I missed this in the 70s and watched it now in C21st as a relic of a bygone era. In these more cynical times and bearing in mind that I'm pretty close to Maud's age, it's very difficult to identify with what appears to be a fantasy world inhabited by weird and overdrawn characters. That it became a cult film at the time provides an insight into alternative attitudes of the era.- Was this review helpful to you?
