Gifted is a 2017 American drama film directed by Marc Webb and written by Tom Flynn. It stars Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan, Jenny Slate and Octavia Spencer. The plot follows an intellectually gifted seven-year-old who becomes the subject of a custody battle between her maternal uncle and maternal grandmother.
Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are both great as a very gifted child and her uncle who find themselves at the center of a custody battle. The plot may be a little unusual but it offers a great vehicle to explore the dynamics between a caring uncle, a gifted child, and an obsessive mother.

Aspects of Kramer vs. KramerandGood Will Huntingabound withinGifted, as do outright clichés, such as Frank having to carry a self-imposed burden of guilt for his sister’s suicide. Nonetheless, Webb’s capable direction, which uses none of the cinematic flash and gimmickry that distinguished (500) Days of Summer,and sincere performances carry the sto...
The movie is at its worst in the thankfully brief courtroom scenes. Writer Tom Flynn’s screenplay, which frequently provides welcome twists and surprises elsewhere, is about as engaging as a Law & Order marathon with extra commercial breaks when Gifted ventures into the courtroom. A technical legal advisor is credited, but there’s little proof anyo...
There really isn’t a way to make Chris Evans not look like a movie star, even with dirty fingernails. That’s not his fault of course – though the problem has only been exacerbated since acquiring Captain America’s physique. Evans takes the role seriously and plays his college professor-turned-boat mechanic with a bemused and not inappropriately iro...
In many ways, though, the movie ultimately rises or falls on the young shoulders of McKenna Grace. She seems to have evaded the assembly line of unnerving, preternaturally precocious juvenile androids that populate so many Hollywood productions. Sorry, but Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are not a post-Strasbergacting method. McKenna Grace, with her two...
Pleasantly straightforward, Giftedplucks at your heartstrings and lets you know exactly what it’s up to. That commendable transparency is one of its strongest virtues. This isn’t a movie that is out to surprise you, beyond a couple of plot twists to keep you guessing. It’s out to make you laugh, make you cry, make you root for the good guys and boo...
Gifted: Directed by Marc Webb. With Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan, Octavia Spencer. Frank, a single man raising his child prodigy niece Mary, is drawn into a custody battle with his mother.
Apr 20, 2017 · So let’s be clear on this point: Gifted is not a bad movie because it’s melodramatic. In fact, the exaggerated nature of its characters living through a supposedly realistic circumstance makes for a naturally relatable narrative that skirts the edge of actually being good based on charisma alone.
