Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.

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.

On the surface, this indie does sound like standard-issue material, but its dynamics are far more complex than its simple exterior.

The film is touching, filled with taste and care, but not enough to avoid being coy and sentimental.

Sensitive and almost unwatchably perceptive about dysfunctional families -- and it's acted with knife-sharp precision.
