I think the movie didn't do anything new, this story was mentioned and offered a lot in previous movies, and the fact that the movie never impressed me because drama movies should be more emotional and affect the feelings of the viewer, and sometimes make him cry!!! The movie was slow and never stirred my feelings. Frankly I liked the performance of Julianne Moore, and the beautiful parental interaction between Lincoln, Margo and Maisie .

Well done and all but I found the story a bit forced after a while. The parents are simply too irresponsible, with oversized egos to be making sense. Although I admit that worse things have happened, with less sense.

This little girl was so intriguing to watch, I was even reminded of my self at that age. It was really a shame her parents couldn't get over themselves and really see her and what she was going through. I started to get upset when Maisie was continually abandoned places over and over without anyone making sure there was an adult there to watch her. I tried to calm down and not let it affect my feelings for the movie. I kept thinking this can't happen, someone would call the cops, especially when she was left at the restaurant. Then I realized this is a reality for some kids and many children have it much worse. Maisie's mother just had no control over her emotions or behavior. She loved to throw words around like "MY daughter" Yet she was so quick to leave her with other people without so much as checking up on her. She was so selfish, Lincoln said it best when he told her "you don't deserve her." I was really hoping Lincoln and Margot would just take Maisie away. Her idiot mother completely over reacted to everything! Shame on her for making Maisie feel bad about being close with Lincoln. Maisie finally has someone who pays attention to her its natural to be fond of that person. In the end you see her mom does love her I think she just is not sure how to be responsible and put her kid first. I think thats the point of this film, maybe some parents don't see what they are doing to their kid. Even small little things and comments you make over time affect your child. This film showing "what Maisie knows" really does that perfectly.

This is exactly the kind of movie i like and adore the most. Adult cast should learn something from the child cast. Onata Aprile is performing better than the others. The emotions and the feelings on her face looks so real that i was almost about to cry (happy tears). Her acting is totally mind blowing, no doubt about that. Story on the other hand making this movie something unique. For the first few times i was avoiding it for quite some time, but then at the moment i thought that i should at least try it once. I rarely watch any movies categorized in "Drama". but after watching it, i can proudly say it was worth it. This movies teaches us a lesson about society. It tells us what happens to the kids after their parents separates. Also how much they love and care for their kids.9/10 (For outstanding casting by Onata Aprile and intense storyline)
