    Fine Acting, Excellent Directing, Focused Story-Telling
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013*

I was prepared for disappointment because of the several glowing reviews I'd read, but instead I found the film arresting, intelligent, brave, and warm.  The despicable parents were perfectly portrayed by Mr. Coogan (Beale) and Ms. Moore (Susanna).  Even through their bleary-eyed self-absorption, there emerged flashes of humanity from each, which kept the film true to its caricature-free presentation of a dissolving family.The reviews have gushed over Onata Aprile's performance as Maisie, and they got it right.  She is never cloying, although naturally adorable, with just the right amount of beyond-her-years observations of her parents' incessant bickering and palpable hate for each other.  The observations never spoken (with one exception) but reflected in her face: a pitch-perfect combination of dismay, six-year-old disbelief, fear, helplessness, and I'm-getting-through-this-by-myself intrepidity.  Only at the end does what she 'knew' come out in one searing question to Margot (dad's new wife) as Margot is melting down over one of Beale's searingly thoughtless disappearances and disregard for any of Margot's possible feelings: "Will you stay together?"  Brilliant.Meanwhile, Alexander Skarsgaard (Lincoln) and Johanna Vanderham (Margot) are believable as the wide-eyed optimist and kind, nurturing nanny, respectively, and soon disillusioned spouses of Maisie's now-remarried parents.  Lincoln quickly learns he is Susanna's boy-toy and easy replacement for nanny Margot to be stuck being Maisie's care-giver with no thought for the strains on his young bartender’s life. Luckily for Maisie - and for us the audience - he rises to the occasion, and his natural kindness and empathetic character help hugely to keep Maisie from being totally abandoned as her parents continue their guerrilla warfare even after their divorce and remarriages.  Margot, too, cares about Maisie even after she's relieved of her Nanny's duties, and several times rescues Maisie from Beale's forgetfulness and serial abandonment of Maisie at school.  We come to root for Margot and Lincoln as the only decent adults in Maisie's life outside of school.  Of course, one corny plot point - which we knew from the first was inevitable - is Lincoln's and Margot's hook-up and connection.  In best Hollywood fashion, they deserve each other as finding the polar opposites of their awful spouses, but isn't it just a bit too convenient?  Well, I'm happy for them and for Maisie who, at the end of the film at least, is in their care.  Mom and dad have both absconded to try and gather the remnants of their former life - she, the fading pop diva, on a road trip, and he running back home in England to find a few 'coins' he seems to be out of in New York.Moore is great in projecting her version of love for her daughter (full of hugs and passionate declamations) which always loses out to the demands of her career.  Coogan is amazing as a cad and as a guy who really doesn't give a crap about being a dad to Maisie but in his final departing scene evidencing some awareness of how his abandoning his daughter may not be the coolest biographical entry in his resume.It’s a really fine film, notable for its avoidance of most of the clichés that would typically smother such an affecting story and saved it from the kind of Hollywood emotional excesses that make it hard to suspend our disbelief.  The writers and directors found just the right tone.  The actors, to a man and woman, played (mostly) believable parts and brought a terrific story and script to vivid life.  Good for them…and us.

    Poignant tale of today's shared child from her POV
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2013*

This was recommended to me & I didn't expect much but the eye candy of Alexander Skarsgard, but what the heck?  What I didn't expect was the very moving story & too often told tale of a little girl caught between her parents as their relationship crumbles.  The poor child is used as an instrument to torment the other parent between custody hearings & scheduled visitations, grilled by the mother upon return from the father, and the same interrogations from him.  The mother is a hot mess while the father clearly only wants custody as a means of tormenting the mother further.  There are marriages for each of the parents & it's in these step-parent relationships where the dynamics begin to take shape while others begin to crumble.  Throughout all of this, Maisie, the little girl, quietly goes through her life from parent to parent, house to house, having fun, and going to school.  She's a silent watcher though of all that's happening around her...  Her father's marriage & the problems stemming from it, her mother and the secrets she shares with Maisie about her marriage, her mother's insane rages, her father's treatment of her & everyone else in his life, and more.  We see all of these things & it's astounding - some of the performances are just stunning.  Skarsgard is great as a young guy who thinks he's just going to be hanging out with a little kid sometimes during the day but who really comes through for this child & learns biology isn't what makes you a parent.  The little girl playing Maisie is simply amazing!  Her silence & facial expressions do more speaking than most of her actual lines, and say more than a child could convey with words anyway.  It's an outstanding performance for a child.  Watching she & Skarsgard together was just one joyful part of the movie.  If you can watch the two of them together & not smile, you have no heart!  The relationship between the two of them is so lovely & I found myself holding my breath for the inevitable to take place - it did, and I finally got to breathe again!  Get the tissues out for those scenes!  Keep them handy for the rest of the movie.  If you have kids, if you're a single parent, you'll "get" this movie.  If you were raised as the child of a single parent, you'll get it & it might hit a bit close to home.  If you're not any of those, you may enjoy the acting & drama for the story, or you just might enjoy the eye candy of ASkars!  It's a topic that's not often brought up, so it's something not often explored.  It's very compelling & so well done.  I plan to watch it again!

    If you are a Skarsgard fan you won’t be disappointed...he shines!
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in Australia on December 18, 2019*

Something a bit different with Maisie in the middle of a custody battle between her parents. Mums new husband Alexander Skarsgard, seems to be the only one with any compassion for the little girl and his gentle kindness saves the day.  Skarsgard is great and makes the movie, along with young Maisie.  Julianne Moore plays mum, Steve Coogan the ex dad.  Good cast.
