Drama Maisie (Onata Aprile) is a six year-old girl caught in the crossfire between her warring parents. One is a party-hardy rock star (Julianne Moore); the other a self-absorbed art dealer (Steve Coogan). The fall-out is captured through the eyes of their neglected daughter.

	Author	Review
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Acutely observed, subtly but sharply written and expertly acted (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	“There are times (...) that the film slips into fable. But the filmmakers take care not to sugarcoat the pain inflicted in the name of love"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	“In this bleak indie bummer that confuses hopelessness with depth, they're really nothing more than selfish, one-dimensional monsters. Maisie's better off without them"	NEG
United Kingdom	Anna Smith Empire	"The young Aprile is a standout in a moving, hard-hitting and surprising adaptation of the Henry James novel. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Tasteful melodrama benefits from uniformly strong performances."	POS
