What to Know

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.

It's good to see [Marc Webb] back working on more intimate material, even though Gifted isn't entirely satisfactory. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 08/30/2017
4/5
Gifted is not your run-of-the-mill melodrama. More like an exceptional melodrama. It still plays the violin, if you get what I mean, but the violinist is skilful. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times 06/29/2017

Gifted gives glorified TV movies a better name. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 10/14/2024
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times 04/11/2022
4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Media Studies 08/26/2021
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John A @RT37217148 May 18 Okay, so I basically recorded this for my wife to watch (no violence, apart from one bleeding nose incident). However, I was soon engrossed by various aspects: the central theme, the balance of arguments for the two sides, the pacing and the acting of all concerned. I watch a variety of genres, from British domestic through to the Fast and Furious franchise, and even foreign films (shock, horror). I was impressed with this movie and recommend it for anyone who wants to watch a thoughtful one with substance. See more Nicole M @RT77577329 Mar 30 HEARTWRENCHING. GUT TWISTING. cannot complete the movie without crying. chemistry between chris and mckenna is unbelievable for such a young actress. i love it See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Mar 7 Wish every single line of Mary casually saying something good about Frank had been said straight to Evelyn’s face, not to some counsellor or random appointed officer. See more Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Feb 26 En mi opinión poner niños en la historia o pude funcionar o pude terminar mal, en este caso es la primera opción para una persona que tiene que robar emociones para sentir algo, el que la historia lograra emocionarme sin sentir que este robando algo le suma.
