Gifted
Frank, a single man raising his child prodigy niece Mary, is drawn into a custody battle with his mother.
Critics Sentiment
Frank rescues cat Fred from pound before euthanasia
Mary placed in foster care attending private school
The film drops to its emotional low point when Mary is separated from Frank, then soars to its peak with Fred's rescue scene that had reviewers reaching for tissues.
Critics consistently praised the performances, especially McKenna Grace and Chris Evans' natural chemistry, while finding the story predictable but emotionally satisfying. The film builds strong sentiment through character moments and family dynamics, with some criticism of the grandmother's portrayal and pacing issues. Despite following familiar family drama patterns, reviewers appreciated its heart and emotional authenticity.
