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.

David Stratton The Australian It's good to see [Marc Webb] back working on more intimate material, even though Gifted isn't entirely satisfactory. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2017 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Gifted gives glorified TV movies a better name. Rated: 3/4 Jun 29, 2017 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 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. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 6/10 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times 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. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
