Watch What Maisie Knew For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

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!!

"What Maisie Knew" is a very touching dramatic film from 2012. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. The directors are Scott McGehee and David Siegel. The screenplay is by Nancy Doyne and Carroll Cartwright.The mother might be seen as the main actor here, Julianne Moore, and this is the best I've ever seen her, I think. She gives a slightly fiery performance, and "slightly" is perfect, avoiding an overacting job suggested by her role as a slightly successful rock and roll star. She's terrifically awful and you come to hate her, appropriately. The father (Steve Coogan) also puts in a sharp performance playing the lively, fun parent who is a selfish womanizer, hiding, sometimes, his flaws from his daughter. His relationship with the mother is not detailed very far because it is mostly one of distance and disdain. And mutual abuse. The real star here is the girl, an utterly charming and beautifully effective actress, Onata, Aprile. She succeeds not by her delivery of great lines, but by her expressions. It's all because Henry James understood something delicate about children in these situations: they know what's going on and don't say it. And they also don't let it affect them because they simply can't afford to, or because they become hardened in some little ways, making them withdraw or act out. That Maisie maintains a delicious sweetness without playing the victim is quite remarkable, and Aprile is brilliant. Dale Haufrect

This movie really stole my heart. It felt a bit like Fish Tank with Michael Fassbender at the beginning with the whole mother's new boyfriend/husband, but I warmed up to it. I loved it. I love this movie so much, it's right up there with Midnight in Pairs and Fight Club. All the acting was spot on. Alexander Skarsgard did a wonderful job at playing a dad, since I'm used to seeing him as a vampire in True Blood. It showed that he's able to play adorable and lovable characters too, not just threatening ones. I come from a broken home too. Not this chaotic though, but I sympathized with the small girl and thought her acting was the best I've seen. Not sure what Maisie 'knew', but it makes me want to really pick up the book and read it to maybe find out more.
