7 year old mary adler out there doing rocket science math and im in college punching in "1+1" in my calculator just to make sure it's still "2"

the fact that there are people out there who understand math is baffling to me. i dont know how to divide by two digits

i am so completely in love with chris evans it's not even funny anymore it's just sad

it was a right decision of mine to not see this in the cinema.. i would've looked like a complete mess walking out the theatre.. and not to sound dramatic but i have my 5-year-old niece wrapped around my arms so tightly right now

The most relatable scene in film history = Chris Evans stepping on a Lego and saying how much it hurts.

Gifted might have a really familiar story that can be predicted from the get-go, but that doesn't stop this from being such sweet, pleasant, and sometimes heart-breaking movie. Chris Evans and Mckenna Grace turn in fantastic performances and share chemistry that's hard to not fall for, the cinematography is beautiful, the score is nice, the movie has a lot of surprisingly hilarious moments, and they do a good job of mixing those in with some of the saddest moments I've seen in a movie this year.

Don't listen to the just okay (?) reviews this has gotten. Go check it out.

I liked this. It follows the usual family drama tropes but the cast is all good, & Marc Webb pulls some surprising scenes together. One in particular, in a hospital, will go in a direction you won't see coming, & if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye then you may have to entertain the possibility you're a robot.

I want to be a dad.

I still believe Evans is everything and more and he could be so much more and damn I hope he'll have the chance to prove that when all this "captainness" is finally done.

This was incredibly sweet, charming and funny. It's a small story but a hearfelt and affecting one. Chris Evans is great here and the little girl playing Mary is fantastic - I bought her in every scene. This movie gets everything that Book of Henry got so wrong completely right - Mary might be a genius, but that isn't why you care about her. You care about her because she's kind, funny and genuine - she's incredibly smart, but she still feels like a real child. And that makes all the difference.

so cute and so sad

A Heatwarming Tale


You've seen 'Gifted' a hundred times before. As mentioned by many you will see a lot of the major plot beats coming from a mile away and it certainly isn't earthshatteringly new.

However despite this Gifted still manages to provide a truthfully heartwarming and gripping story of a troubbled uncle and a child prodigy with both Evans and Grace, with Evans particularly proving he can excel outside of his renowned roles in the comic-movie genre.

Additionally subplots aside from the main relationship at play help Gifted to have some individuality and allow it to feel somewhat different from what you've already seen before.

Overall whilst it certainly doesn't break new ground Gifted provides a heartwarming take on an age-old cinema tale.

a masterpiece™
