WHAT MAISIE KNEW is a contemporary New York City re-visioning of the Henry James novel by the same name, written by Carroll Cartwright and Nancy Doyne. It revolves around unwitting 7-year-old Maisie, caught in the middle of a custody battle between her mother Suzanna, an aging rock star, and her father, Beale, a major art dealer. In a race to win the court's advantage, Beale marries Maisie's nanny Margo, prompting Suzanna in turn to marry friend and local bartender, Lincoln. Both forced into a battle neither wishes to be a part of, Margo and Lincoln come to empathize with Maisie's position and over time with one another's. Teased by the notion of making their own surrogate family, the trio must either submit to the will of Maisie's parents or eventually face their wrath.
Leave your thoughts about What Maisie Knew.
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonald"What Maisie Knew" packs a surprising emotional punch, one that stays with you for a while when the movie's over. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyYes, these people are cliches. But they know it. And so do the actors, who push past the stereotypes to slowly show us that perhaps these young and rather unimportant people are far more grown-up and involved than anyone else around them. |
| ObserverRex ReedAcutely observed, subtly but sharply written and expertly acted. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottWhat Maisie Knew lays waste to the comforting dogma that children are naturally resilient, and that our casual, unthinking cruelty to them can be answered by guilty and belated displays of affection. It accomplishes this not by means of melodrama, but by a mixture of understatement and thriller-worthy suspense. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceThe kid is goofy-sweet and innocent, with a bewildered expression that could charm even a pizza delivery man. |
| CraveOnlineFred TopelIt could make you angry, or open up old wounds, but in the best possible way. Let's get riled up, let's take it personally. |
| TIME MagazineMary F. PolsSome moviegoers may opt for an easier cinematic pleasure than this carefully crafted, discomforting look at familial misery in hyper drive, but it is the most provocative movie about parenting I've seen since The Kids Are All Right. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairA progressively heartbreaking piece of work... |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigWho would have thought that one of the most provocative and affecting films made about the fallout from 21st century divorce would have emanated from a 19th century novel? |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesSelfishness and cruelty never go out of style, which might explain why this millennial update of Henry James's 1897 novel works so well. |
