A strong plot mixed with dynamic acting added to innovative directing equals a gift of a movie. Mckenna Grace is adorable.

The question at the movie's heart is: What is best for Mary? The answer Gifted chooses is predictable, but that doesn't stop the movie from messing with your tear ducts.

A formulaic and manipulative tearjerker that is really nothing more than a woman's picture from a man's point of view.

Essentially a watered-down version of Searching for Bobby Fischer, Gifted is earnest but phony.

"Gifted" is an engaging comedy-drama that avoids becoming too much of a tearjerker.
