Frank’s plans for a normal school life for Mary are foiled when the 7-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.
Q-tips say: Yes, watch GIFTED.
It was heartwarming and inspiring.
Great movie to watch. Loved the chemistry between Chris Evans and Mckenna Grace. Grace on the other hand, was splendid in portraying her mature emotions while still being a kid. Although the character often show how she is socially struggling to participate in the first place she still manage to show the mischievous and rebellious part of her character as a kid. Some of the scenes where Frank teaches Mary about life and love--in particular, the hospital scene--makes you wish he'd been your own father.
