Blackfish, the documentary from director/co-writer Gabriela Cowperthwaite contains a simple truth that it spends its 83-minute runtime explaining, evaluating and returning to over and over again – keeping majestic, powerful creatures in captivity for interactive entertainment is wrong.

What Maisie Knew is a perceptive adaptation of Henry James’ 1897 novel about a child stuck in the middle of a custody battle between divorced parents in London.
