What Maisie Knew (2013)

I learned about this film from the previews of ‘the Iceman’, I had just reviewed.  I am glad I did.  The story was about a little girl, Maisie, who was split between feuding parents.  The kid Maisie, played by Onata Aprile, was the true star of the film.  She played a very cute and lovable kid who was mixed up into an adult love triangle.  Her parents divorce and both remarry other much younger people.  The new step-parents instantly fall in love with Maisie and vise versa.  Long story short, the stepparents end up breaking up with Maisie’s real parents and start dating each other.  The film ends with the new couple taking Maisie for a boat ride but does not conclude with anything concrete as to custody.  I don’t think there would be anyway the real parents wouldn’t retain custody.  I really enjoyed this film and would highly recommend it.
