Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

What Maisie Knew (2013)

Self-absorbed unhappy parents of a six-year-old girl split up, marry others, and remain the same self-obsessed and unhappy people they always were. This wreaks havoc in their daughter’s life since, now, she splits her time between two homes and is often left waiting for one or the other to come and get her.

There were some strong performances here -- Moore is a powerhouse -- but, unfortunately, Maisie herself is not a strong presence and that weakens the whole shebang.
