What Maisie Knew
First screened in September 2012
Directors: Scott McGehee and David Siegel. Cast: Onata Aprile, Joanna Vanderham, Alexander Skarsgård, Julianne Moore, Steve Coogan, Nadia Gan. Screenplay:
Carroll Cartwright and Nancy Doyne (based on the novel by Henry James). Twitter Capsule:
Great idea for update beset by narrative gaps, precious lighting and scoring. Still, 6-year-old Aprile nails it.
VOR:②
Proof you can take plenty of risks (placing film on newbie kid's shoulders, Skarsgård grown up, Moore blowzed down, 19C in 21C clothes) without feeling risky at all.
