Audience Sentiment
Uncle and niece reunite
How it all wraps up
The film peaks emotionally during Frank and Mary's reunion after he saves Fred, but drops significantly in the final resolution that reviewers felt undermined the central conflict
Gifted delivers strong emotional beats through most of its runtime, particularly in the natural chemistry between Chris Evans and McKenna Grace and the well-executed custody battle. However, the film stumbles in its final act with a resolution that many reviewers found unsatisfying and contradictory to the themes it had been building.
