“A film made around the subjective camera, the vision
of a child, and a re-reading of the Henry James novel. The
concern is not with reality and appearance but the manner
in which these terms come to be constituted.” –
Constance Penley
“The film is a kind of Maisie in Wonderland.”
– Ruby Rich
As Henry James said, “You still have room for wonder
at what Maisie knew.”
The film is about looking. I bet that slight variations of
few recurrent elements would encourage the viewer to free
associate and to fantasize a kind of narrative. - BM
