Review of What Maisie Knew (2013) by Nick D — 12 Jan 2014

Superb script, well-acted by all-star cast as well as young newcomer Onata Aprile. This is the story of what a couple of torn-up marriages do to a small child. Roles are reversed, with the parents throwing tantrums, avoiding responsibility, and lying pathologically.

That this youngster seems unusually self-possessed and somewhat unaffected at first seems improbable, but the impact is clear by the end.
