A movie that might have been better served if it had been released in the late fall instead of the spring, the biographical drama “Maudie” still managed to rustle up interest beyond its target art-house demographic, and bank enough praise and accolades to make it on to multiple year-end Top 10 lists. It was my number seven choice for 2017.
