![]() Story-wise, the film was convincingly written I would say. Yeah, she brings some comedy here and there, but honestly the Black lawyer was really enough to have that genre covered. Yes she has recognition value (like Slate too, maybe Evans could have a bit more), but that simply is not enough anymore in my opinion. Besides, she has a tendency to play exactly the same character in every film she is in really and by now it has gotten stale and repetitive. Her character could have been left out completely and it would not have changed a thing. Oscar winner Octavia Spencer is once again a disappointment. But the teacher parts early on were played well by her, the romance parts added almost nothing and in the second half of the film she is just there with no material at all. Eventually her character is a bit pointless. He did a fine job most of the time and he is one of the current superhero actors who still need to establish themselves as character actors (something Cumberbatch, Ruffalo and RDJ have done a long time ago already), but he is on the right track. She really had my eyes glued to the screen in every scene she was in and actually those were not as many scenes as you would expect as we see the people around her more than we see her at times.įor Chris Evans, this is a worthy addition to his body of work too. The only contender for MVP is child actress Mckenna Grace, who I can see really having a bright career if she decides to keep making movies when entering adult life. Admittedly, it is by definition already a role with great potential, but she sure delivers and fulfills the expectations. Now I mentioned already some of the actors and characters here and I believe that Duncan is the MVP overall. There is also a bit of an evil stepmother character in here and that one is played by Lindsay Duncan, even if she is of course actually the grandmother and she wants her granddaughter to continue her daughter's work. She lives with her uncle as her mother's genius was also her demise eventually and the uncle (played by Captain America Chris Evans) tries all he can to keep his niece from living a life as destructible as her mother did. It is the story of a young girl who is a child prodigy, just like her mother was. Instead, we talk about this film here that is writer Tom Flynn's most known work until now. But this blockbuster should not be in the focus today. The director is Marc Webb, who is still most known of course for his take on Spider Man starring Andrew Garfield. "Gifted" is an American 100-minute film from this year (2017), so still a really new one we have here.

I do have a problem with the resolution of the court case but the drama does need to go somewhere. This is not the most challenging film but it's an easy watch. Director Marc Webb keeps the movie running on the straight and narrow. Mckenna Grace is super duper cute missing-my-front-teeth adorable.
