What I realize again after watching this movie is that being a kid's dad or mom is a serious thing, rewarding if you take the responsibility and be a good one. Parents' quarrel, waiting for a long time with them showing up, and living in a drifting life with them are three nightmares for the young, who are delicate and vulnerable. The director did a great job in contrasting the attitude of Maisie's parents and those of the two tender and kind young adults. It's not biological relationship that legitimize the parents' claim over their child. And such parents Coogan and Moore portrayed should change for their kids' childhood and future.
