==Plot==
A nurse named Katie fails to save the life of a patient in her care, despite attempting [[Cardiopulmonary resuscitation|CPR]].

Some time later, Katie, now referring to herself as Maud, has become a devout [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] and is working as a private [[palliative care]] nurse in an English seaside town. She is assigned to care for Amanda, a [[hedonistic]] former dancer and choreographer from the United States who is terminally ill with stage four [[lymphoma]]. Amanda is embittered by her fate and confesses to Maud that she fears the oblivion of death. Maud comes to believe that God has tasked her with saving the [[Atheism|atheist]] Amanda's soul. Maud reveals to Amanda that she sometimes feels God's presence, and she and Amanda appear to be overcome with ecstasy as they pray together.

Maud becomes suspicious of Amanda's companion Carol, who visits regularly and with whom Amanda has sex. She implores Carol to stop visiting because she believes Amanda's soul is in jeopardy due to distractions of the flesh. Carol is incensed by this, accusing Maud of [[homophobia]], but Maud rebukes this stating that she would not care whether Carol were a man or a woman. Carol attends Amanda's birthday party anyway, and in front of Maud, Amanda informs the partygoers that Maud tried to drive Carol away. The party guests laugh at Maud, calling her "Saint Maud", and wrap a [[Christian head covering|cover]] on her head. Amanda mocks Maud for trying to save her soul and suggests that she is a homophobic prude, jealous of her relationship with Carol. Maud strikes Amanda and is dismissed from her job.

Believing that God has rejected her, Maud visits a pub to find companionship but is rejected by most of the people she meets. She goes home with a man and during sex suffers flashbacks of the death of her patient and her attempts at CPR, which causes her to stop. The man initially appears sympathetic but then rapes Maud who initially resists, and then appears to [[Dissociation (psychology)|dissociate]]. As she is leaving, he taunts her by revealing that he remembers her [[Casual sex#Hooking up|hooking up]] with a friend of his during her hedonistic past.

While out walking, she encounters Amanda's new nurse and storms off when she realizes that her replacement enjoys a good relationship with Amanda. In her decrepit apartment, Maud begs for a sign from God who appears to tell her to be ready for an act that will demonstrate her faith. Repentant of her actions, Maud assembles a [[spugna]] for her right foot to practice the [[Mortification in Catholic theology|mortification of the flesh]].

That night, Maud, dressed in a makeshift robe and wearing [[rosary]] beads, enters Amanda's house after the care nurse leaves. She finds Amanda in bed, weakened. Amanda asks forgiveness for mocking her faith, and Maud joyously reminds her of the time they experienced God's presence. Amanda reveals that she feigned the experience and that she believes God is not real. Maud recoils in horror as a now-demonic Amanda hurls her across the room and mocks her for needing to prove her faith. In a delirious frenzy, Maud stabs Amanda to death with a pair of scissors.

In the morning, Maud wanders onto a beach and douses herself with [[acetone peroxide]] before horrified onlookers. She utters her last words in Welsh—"Glory to God"—as she self-immolates. In her last moments, angel wings appear upon her and the onlookers kneel in awe as Maud looks up to the sky glowing with grace. The scene then [[Smash cut|smash-cuts]] for a split second to the reality of Maud being burned alive and screaming in agony.

Director [[Danny Boyle]] described ''Saint Maud'' as "a genuinely unsettling and intriguing film. Striking, affecting and mordantly funny at times, its confidence evokes the ecstasy of films like ''[[Carrie (1976 film)|Carrie]]'', ''[[The Exorcist]]'', and [[Jonathan Glazer]]'s ''[[Under the Skin (2013 film)|Under the Skin]]''."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://whatsworthseeing.com/saint-maud-director-rose-glass-wins-50000-film-bursary/|title=Saint Maud Director Rose Glass wins £50,000 film bursary|website=What's Worth Seeing|date=1 October 2019|access-date=1 October 2019|archive-date=1 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001232141/http://whatsworthseeing.com/saint-maud-director-rose-glass-wins-50000-film-bursary/|url-status=live}}</ref> Katie Rife of ''[[The A.V.

At the heart of ''Saint Maud'' is loneliness and how it can manifest. Maud is a deeply lonely character, whose need for redemption and a desire to belong, all contribute to form a dangerous cocktail with devastating consequences."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Saint Maud Movie Review |url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/saint-maud |access-date=2023-05-02 |website=[[Common Sense Media]]}}</ref>
