Six-year-old Maisie (Onata Aprile) bears silent, initially uncomprehending witness to the collapse of her parents’ marriage in What Maisie Knew. Subsequently, father Beale (Steve Coogan) marries nanny Margo (Joanna Vanderham), while mother Susanna (Julianne Moore) spontaneously weds Lincoln (Alexander Skarsgård). What becomes increasingly clear to Maisie is that her parents are less interested in her welfare than in using her to score petty victories over each other, their selfishness usually resulting in her being left with their new partners, who have true and deep affection for the child. Told from Maisie’s perspective, it is a heartrending film.
