Trivia
The fully restored house of Maud Lewis is on permanent display in Halifax at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The decorated house was saved from deterioration by a group of concerned local citizens, that went through a 25 year-long struggle to maintain the house.

Goofs
The paint "tins" that Maudie is using look like modern aluminum pull-tab type containers not old sardine tin cans.

Quotes
Mr. Davis (Shopkeeper): I don't know why people pay money for these, my five-year-old could do better.
Everett Lewis: Maybe. Maybe he could, but he didn't - Maud did. Brushes, please.
[slaps the coins on the counter]
Everett Lewis: You're an idiot.

Crazy credits
A brief clip in the end credits shows the real Maud Lewis with husband, Everett, from a 1976 black and white short, "Maud Lewis: A World Without Shadows."

How did this movie not receive any Academy Award nominations?!

I do NOT understand how it is possible that Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke went completely unnoticed by the Academy. It truly boggles my mind. All of the other reviews pretty much summed up my feelings for this film and the performances. I'm left speechless that NO NOMINATIONS WERE GIVEN!! How in the world did such incredible acting performances get unrecognized? Sally Hawkins was simply superb. Ethan Hawke was amazing. Maybe his best performance yet. This movie is a gem. Definite must-see. And you too, will be scratching your head as to WHY these amazing actors didn't get even the slightest nod. Wow.
