Reviews

ingridvcosta Loved the movie!Story (10/10): The struggles of being a parent: what´s right and wrong and its blurred lines. Amazing way of telling a very simple story. Acting (10/10): Love Chris Evans, always! Beatiful acting and incredible chemistry between actrors - excelent casting. Direction (10/10): Simple, truthful and beautiful.

blessthisfamily Really choosing foster parents instead of actual relatives. Wow I really liked this very typical storyline. But you lost with this stupid proposal. Give to loving people who want a child but they can't decide to they give them to complete strangers yeah b*******.

krocheav Hadn't heard anything about this movie but sounded interesting so took a chance - couldn't miss. Astutely written by Tom Flynn who has a natural flair for involving dialog that works on several levels: in 'Gifted' he creates what must be perhaps one of the best child prodigy stories of the last decade (or more). Reminiscent of (but different to) 'Little Man Tate' it looks at the importance of considering the 'child' trapped inside the genius. This is a classic study of relationships and how we should all learn to treasure them - young and old. Marvel comic director Marc Webb, comes back to grassroots and along with his star Chris Evans, they ensure a movie experience that's sure to engage. With a tremendous blend of humour and drama (some courtroom scenes have genuine sting) this quite poignant story unfolds in an easy-style that draws you to the point of eventually being enthralled. Flynn covers analytical questions about the origins of life, existence of God, sibling relationships, and gently challenges us to engage in thoughts above the commonality of every day small talk but, in ways to fit with who we are. The actor's drawls at times make it difficult to understand every word - this caused me to think I may have had amplifier trouble - until Scottish actress Lindsay Vere Duncan started speaking perfect English (some will have more trouble with this than others) Careful annunciation and lack of sound stages shows at times. Cinematography by Stuart Dryburg is alternately superb and mediocre - a couple of brief hand held shots look messy (but these could have been work added by a second unit?) In a somewhat demanding role, young Mckenna Grace wins with her committed performance and comic Jenny Slate, is divine as her public school teacher. Octavia Spencer (The Shack) turns in another of her special performances. Some popular songs are used as dressing for certain scenes - although the sound mix tends to be a little high - drowning out some dialogue here and there. Stories like this make movie watching a treat and it's always good to find them turning up in-between the comic book CGI blockbusters! -well worth the time- PG/M for some mild adult concepts.

MichaelMRamey It was nice to see Chris Evans outside a Comic Book adaptation. It was hard to separate him from Captain America, but this film shows he's much more than his most famous role. This film is funny, heartbreaking, inspiring and hopeful all wrapped into one. Would highly recommend and feel as though this film went under the radar and is underrated.
