What Maisie Knew Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Emma Myers
Scott McGehee and David Siegel's adaptation commendably preserves the book's child perspective even if it doesn't quite match the characteristically dark shades of the author's moral fare.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The film begins ham-handedly and ends in a puddle of mawkishness, but most everything in between is sharply observed and wounding to watch.
The New Republic
David Thomson
The film is touching, filled with taste and care, but not enough to avoid being coy and sentimental.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
On the surface, this indie does sound like standard-issue material, but its dynamics are far more complex than its simple exterior.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
What Maisie Knew gives the audience a ground-eye view of its mesmerizing title character, a plucky, charismatic New Yorker who navigates downtown bars and building lobbies with the street savvy of a pro.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The result is a film that deeply engages us on multiple levels. Not only do we wonder what Maisie knows and how she knows it, we want to get this seedling to a place where she won't have to be transplanted every day.
Hearst Newspapers
Mick LaSalle
It's a study of human nature, not at its worst, but at its most typically pathetic, and it goes to show that the more things don't change, the more they stay lousy.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Intimate, unnerving and entirely addictive.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
The aggravatingly manipulative What Maisie Knew feels, perhaps deliberately, as if its emotions were drawn in brightly colored crayon.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
As Maisie, Aprile seems lit from within; a more vividly natural child actress I have trouble imagining.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"What Maisie Knew" packs a surprising emotional punch, one that stays with you for a while when the movie's over.
Newsday
John Anderson
Mischievous updating of the Henry James novel, made especially moving by young Onata Aprile.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
What Maisie Knew" is about the erosion of innocence in the midst of plenty, yet it rarely feels heavy-handed, so serene is its own faith in its tiny heroine's strength.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Selfishness and cruelty never go out of style, which might explain why this millennial update of Henry James's 1897 novel works so well.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The camera is often at Maisie's eye level, emphasizing how adults are seen by the perceptive Maisie. The sad-eyed Aprile's honest portrayal is heart-wrenching.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
She still believes that the world is an enchanted place that cannot hurt her. She does not understand what is going on around her, but we do.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
A raw, uncomfortable examination of a family torn apart by two parents who love their daughter only half as much as they love themselves.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Without losing the 19th century author's sensibility, screenwriters Carroll Cartwright and Nancy Doyne have brought into the modern age James' unforgiving examination of the effect of a messy divorce on a child.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
The film raises more uncomfortable questions about Maisie's uncertain future than it ever answers, but that's in keeping with the emotional honesty the filmmakers are striving for.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
We experience her upsets without the leavening of outside interferences. And because Aprile is such an intuitive performer, we are always searching her face for the imprint of her suffering.
