Leave your thoughts about Gifted.
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondA wonderful and touching family film in which Chris Evans shows what a super hero really is. He's terrific and so is the whole cast including a genuine new find by the name of McKenna Grace. |
| TheWrapSam FragosoGifted finds a collective of competent people making a perfectly competent movie — nothing more, nothing less. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperGifted isn’t the best or most sophisticated or most original film of the year so far — but it just might be my favorite. |
| Women's Voices for ChangeAlexandra MacAaronIt makes a compelling case for families, especially those that we consciously build, filling in the blanks that fate or happenstance have left behind. And it succeeds thanks to its very gifted young star. |

| Toronto StarBruce DemaraWebb takes a well-crafted script by Tom Flynn and raises it up, spinning a tale so filled with wit, poignancy and authenticity that when the emotional sparks do fly, the audience is ready ... |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekUnlike the little girl at its center, it turns out to be a quite ordinary exercise in heartwarming schmaltz. |
