Critics Consensus: Gifted isn't quite as bright as its pint-sized protagonist, but a charming cast wrings respectably engaging drama out of a fairly predictable premise.

Reviews

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

This story is markedly better when it is out of the courtroom or the bedroom and showcasing the bond of memories being made and principles being built by an impressionable child and her dutiful guardian.

The performances, especially that of Lindsay Duncan, are a strong feature, but the film fails to break with genre clichés. It is a valid option for fans of courtroom drama, but not very memorable as a whole. [Full review in Spanish]

Gifted isn't just a great family film, it offers insight and lessons for a lifetime and might actually make you and your children better people. That's far more than you can expect to take away from any movie.

Please, go see Gifted. It may not be a perfect movie (the court scenes are too long) and unapologetic about manipulating your emotions but the giftedness celebrated in the story is well worth it.
