GIFTED (2017)

Featuring: Chris Evans; McKenna Grace; Olivia Spencer

Director: Marc Webb

Big gifts often come in small packages. Although that rings true for the central character in this movie the actual question it asks is this: What is "real" family.

Mary (Mckenna Grace) is a seven year old maths prodigy who has been in the loving care of her uncle Frank (Chris Evans) since she was a mere baby. That was shortly after her mother, his sister and also a maths genius, committed suicide. But then her estranged grandmother appears on the scene to stake her own claim on the little girl.

In an interview with Marc Webb who directed huge blockbusters like the Spider-Man movies, said that he really wanted to make a movie like this for some time now. And with stars like Chris Evans (Captain America) and Octavia Spencer (The Help) it is a winning combination - not even to mention the mega talented little Mckenna Grace. You have to have a heart of stone if you do not pick a tear for this one. 

I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

  Olivia Spencer, Mckenna Grace and Chris Evans
