Gifted Movie

Raising a child is tough but trying to raise a prodigy is even more challenging. In the movie, Gifted, Frank fights for young Mary to be raised as a normal child with the opportunity to truly enjoy her childhood.
Frank Adler (Chris Evans) is a single man raising a child prodigy – his spirited young niece Mary (Mckenna Grace) – in a coastal town in Florida. Frank’s plans for a normal school life for Mary are foiled when the seven-year-old’s mathematical abilities come to the attention of Frank’s formidable mother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) whose plans for her granddaughter threaten to separate Frank and Mary. Octavia Spencer plays Roberta, Frank and Mary’s landlady and best friend. Jenny Slate is Mary’s teacher, Bonnie, a young woman whose concern for her student develops into a connection with her uncle as well.
This movie was refreshing change of pace for me and I really enjoyed the storyline and found myself siding with Mary and her well meaning guardians to just let her be a kid.
