CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Millspeak of Palawan I've had a copy of this film since last year but never tried to purposely watch it on our movie time. I thought of it at first to be a mediocre family drama, but it turned out to be an excellently narrated heart-breaking story of a kind-hearted young girl who's tossed around amid the relationship crisis of her unmarried parents.The film was translated into modern time setting from a book written in 1896 by Henry James depicting irresponsible parents. The actors equally delivered great performances, including Joanna Vanderham who I think deserves an applause for her supporting role.What Maisie Knew, gives a fresh reflection about the importance of families, the togetherness and presence of both parents in rearing their child, and the innocent and disturbed thoughts of a girl who is caught up in an unfortunate situation. It can stir up emotion and awaken a person's inner heart of its capability to truly love and care. Several times, there were scenes that can bring the viewer to the edge of his emotion and blame the parents' stupidity and immaturity.Interestingly, the bleak possibility of the young girl's longing for the companionship of her parents seems to have been saved through the care of her parent's new spouses who got mixed up in the situation and were forced to look out for her.

Clever Minx Los Angeles I saw What Maisie Knew months ago in the theater, and yet I keep thinking about it. They got to the heart of the material. The casting and emotional tenor is perfect. I keep thinking about the characters as if I knew them. This is a haunting movie of the break up of a family and the resilience of a child. I highly recommend it. Having had a mother a bit like the Julianne Moore character, I was profoundly moved by the caustic effects of a selfish parent. She was wonderful. To think it was adapted from a Henry James story is interesting, that there could be parents so self centered one hundred years back. Sad, yet Maise finds what she needs and holds the moral center of the movie. The settings were poignant and poetic. Somehow the entire production gets to the heart of the heartbreak of a child.

Farley What I realize again after watching this movie is that being a kid's dad or mom is a serious thing, rewarding if you take the responsibility and be a good one. Parents' quarrel, waiting for a long time with them showing up, and living in a drifting life with them are three nightmares for the young, who are delicate and vulnerable. The director did a great job in contrasting the attitude of Maisie's parents and those of the two tender and kind young adults. It's not biological relationship that legitimize the parents' claim over their child. And such parents Coogan and Moore portrayed should change for their kids' childhood and future.

koeen23 I LOVE IT. at first i thought i was going to hate it, or maybe not really hate but possibly i would rate it like 5 or 6, but it turned out better than i was expecting! I've never seen anything like this. its so beautiful because how true this is sometimes. about what will happen after your parents got divorced when you're at such young age. what i like the most is about Lincoln, and I'm sure you will too. he's that kind of guy you were hoping to meet. he is a living proof that you should never judge a book by its cover. many credits to the actors and actress as well. they were all good. they played their character magnificently. couldn't have done it any better! job well done guys bravo!!
