What Maisie Knew

What Maisie Knew

Divorce seen through the eyes of the child... 

...and filmed accordingly - the camera is frequently placed at Maisie's eye level; it follows her; it focuses on her.

Onata Aprile is mesmerizing. And impeccably dressed - reminds me of In The Mood for Love which is no small feat. 

The (main) characters are not black and white / good and bad... a fact which manages to minimize the sentimentality that such a subject involves.

Minimalistic / low key - featuring some beautiful frames / interiors.

Flawless acting!

Based on a (Victorian era) novel by Henry James.

One step away from being great.
