Gifted – Chris Evans playing a different kind of hero
Chris Evans plays Frank, he has been taking care of Mary (the maths prodigy) since her mother (Frank's sister) committed suicide. Frank wants to give Mary as 'normal' childhood as possible but at the same time he's struggling with whether this the right thing for her. Her grandmother is desperate to isolate her so that she can reach her full maths potential.
This conflict results in a courtroom battle for custody of Mary during the middle part of the film. We see that 'Capt. America' can do 'sensitive' and McKenna Grace will be a huge star, she steals every scene she's in.
This is an entertaining drama where the premise is - if you have a gifted child should they have a normal childhood life or should you focus on exploiting their full potential?
The film is immediately engaging with some humorous scenes, some where you least expect them, and some emotional scenes towards the end (so keep your tissues handy)
Recommended.
8/10.
