Movie Reviews
Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "GIFTED is on balance a good-hearted entertainment that manages its plot curveballs, and everything else, with a show of compassion that’s a kind of tonic..." - 04/07/2017 RogerEbert.com
"McKenna Grace, with appraising eyes, her top front teeth missing, and a sugary but brisk delivery that is never less than spontaneous, is like the Drew Barrymore of E.T. on speed-dial." - 03/30/2017 Variety
"[An] emotionally absorbing story of a grade-school math prodigy caught in a messy custody dispute." - 04/06/2017 Boston Globe
4 stars out of 5 -- "The film’s heartfelt advocacy for an unconventional family model is easy to love, as are the underused supporting cast, led by comedian Jenny Slate as a well-meaning schoolteacher and Octavia Spencer’s surrogate mother figure." - 06/18/2017 The Guardian
3 stars out of 5 -- "Evans plays his part with conviction. As does Mckenna Grace, cracking equations and cracking wise with a naturalness that quite belies the fact it’s just the script that is priming her with MIT-standard algebra." - 06/05/2017 Empire
