Frank, a single man raising his child prodigy niece Mary, is drawn into a custody battle with his mother.
Good, but not great. A few, not many, funny lines. Best performance by Mckenna Grace. The best I can say is that it wasn't a good movie but it wasn't a bad movie either.
Extraordinarily conventional. It will surely appeal to devotees of this sort of thing, because it's well acted and has some minor emotional impact, but with the exception of what essentially boils down to a gimmick, _Gifted_ is just like a hundred other okay movies that deal with the same subject in the same way.
_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
