This was an absolutely fabulous movie. If you want a nice surprise, then take the time to watch this movie. There is something very touching about it and the acting is fabulous. The casting was excellent.

This is really an excellent movie. It really begs the questions that every parent, family member, or aspiring leader should ask themselves and others. Plus, the story is pretty dang cute. Chris Evens does a fantastic job. McKenna Grace was absolutely perfect for this role. Heck, even Frank was incredible.

Wonderful movie....!!!

A genuinely lovely movie, full of heart and compassion. It got very emotional at times but thoroughly enjoyed it.

(CASTELLANO) Hay pelis que te dejan con una sensación de 'qué mono todo', ¿sabes? 'Un don excepcional' es de esas. Marc Webb se aleja de los superhéroes y nos trae una historia sencilla, pero que te toca la fibra. Un tío normal y corriente, Frank, se hace cargo de su sobrina, Mary, que resulta ser un cerebrito de las mates. Lo mejor, sin duda, la química entre Chris Evans y la niña, Mckenna Grace. Es que se nota que se llevan bien, que hay feeling. Evans se olvida del Capitán América y se mete en la piel de un tipo normal, con sus rollos y sus miedos. Y la niña, ¡qué decir! Es un prodigio, pero no de esos que te dan repelús, sino una cría normal y corriente, con sus gracias y sus rabietas. La historia es de las de pañuelo, no te voy a engañar. Pero no es de esas que te meten el drama con calzador. Es más de sonrisas tontas y de 'qué bonito'. Sí, el debate sobre si la niña tiene que ir a una escuela especial o no se queda un poco en la superficie, pero a mí me dio igual. Yo estaba más pendiente de ver cómo se llevaban tío y sobrina. Vamos, que si buscas una peli para pasar un rato agradable, para desconectar y para salir del cine con una sonrisa, 'Un don excepcional' es tu peli. No es una obra maestra, pero es de esas que te dejan con el corazón calentito. (ENGLISH) You know those movies that leave you with a "how cute" feeling? Gifted is one of them. Marc Webb steps away from superheroes to bring us a simple yet heartfelt story. A regular guy, Frank, ends up taking care of his niece, Mary—who turns out to be a math genius. The best part? Without a doubt, the chemistry between Chris Evans and the young Mckenna Grace. You can tell they genuinely get along, that there's a real connection. Evans completely forgets about Captain America and plays an ordinary guy, dealing with life’s ups and downs. And the kid? What can I say! She’s brilliant but not in an annoying, precocious way—just a regular girl with her quirks, tantrums, and all. It’s definitely a tearjerker, I won’t lie. But it doesn’t shove the drama in your face. It’s more about those little moments that make you smile and think, "how sweet." Sure, the whole debate about whether Mary should go to a special school or not doesn’t go too deep, but honestly, I didn’t mind. I was more invested in watching the bond between uncle and niece. So, if you’re looking for a movie to unwind, something that leaves you feeling warm inside, Gifted is your pick. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s one of those films that make your heart feel just a little bit lighter.

Very heart warming film that asks lots of difficult questions about responsibility. In a film with math as part of its plot device, that for viewers there is more than one reasonable resolution is apt. Finally. Great cast and a live wire of a young actress who steals every scene she is in.

Um filme fraco e sem alma que se sustenta em ótimas atuações. (avaliação: 4/10)

Nicely portrays the dilemma many parents must experience between how hard to push a child academically, and letting them grow as a child. Great acting from all especially McKenna who is definitely gifted in this role. Enjoyed all the way through and a happy ending.

It’s a good movie in some aspects, some bad in another, but really good in a few. Especially at portraying how easy school is when you’re that smart. The bits in the movie that are sad or dramatic are pretty good, but everything else is decent. I’d say it’s worth a watch!

Rating: 7/10. 73/100

he wanted me before i was smart

Tem um ótimo diretor e roteiro é impecável

Good acting from the Main Characters. Story was just, okay.

"Gifted" è un raro esempio di sceneggiatura che strizza l'occhio alla parte più estetica di hollywood riuscendo però a non perdere i contenuti e nemmeno a metterli in secondo piano. La trama è interessante ed originale, tratta un argomento abbastanza delicato e potenzialmente ad ampio raggio di azione; lo fa senza eccedere nel legal per dare più spazio alla parte emozionale e decisionale. Il personaggio di Chris Evans è forse un po' troppo tendente al prototipo del bello e dannato; ma nonostante questo lui è molto bravo nel non sfruttare oltremodo queste caratteristiche nel ruolo. Valore aggiunto è il finale, in cui l'ultima scena viene lasciata alla nonna villain che in un climax di emozione prende la sua decisione finale, senza ipocrisie e senza eccedere in drammi ma con una potenza emotiva notevole. Bel progetto.

The best scene in this film is the part with the pickup truck after Chris Evans/Frank Adler visits the animal shelter. A sweet film with good acting and no hateful political smearing of anyone. Bring tissues, but know the ending will be satisfactorily upbeat.

Alright, let’s be real—sometimes you just need a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you with all the warm fuzzies. Gifted does exactly that. Directed by Marc Webb, this flick brings us Chris Evans as Frank, a guy just trying to give his niece, Mary (played by the scene-stealing Mckenna Grace), a normal life despite her being a straight-up child prodigy. Now, here’s the thing—Gifted doesn’t exactly rewrite the playbook when it comes to family dramas, but that’s not a knock. It’s got a charm that sneaks up on you. Evans shows he’s more than just a superhero, bringing serious depth to his role as a loving, self-sacrificing uncle. And Mckenna Grace? Absolute powerhouse. She’s the heart of the film, balancing genius with just enough vulnerability to keep you hooked. What makes Gifted stand out is how it keeps things real. Relationships are messy, family is complicated, and this movie doesn’t shy away from that. It throws in humor at the right moments and hits those emotional beats when it needs to, without getting too sappy. Sure, it’s predictable at times, but it knows exactly what kind of movie it is—a heartwarming, feel-good story that knows how to deliver the feels without being overbearing. Plus, who doesn’t love a bonus one-eyed cat? Bottom line? Gifted is like that cozy sweater you never want to take off—warm, familiar, and hits you right in the feels. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s got heart, and sometimes that’s all you really need.

Very touching and the plot is not boring. I cried many times watching it because its very well played by the actors and actresses. I definitely recommend others to watch it!

Very boring. 2 hours of bad parenting. Poor kid

Gifted is a 2017 American drama film directed by Marc Webb 👧🏼 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 Frank, a single man raising his child prodigy niece Mary, is drawn into a custody battle with his mother.

Brilliant film. Best child acting I have seen in a long time. All rest of the acting was wonderfully understated. Loved the last scene silent knowing smiles.
