Let kids be kids

Gifted (2017)

Directed by Marc Webb this film stars Chris Evans, McKenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan, Jenny Slate and Octavia Spencer. A man tries to raise his genius niece with a normal childhood and out of the clutches of her pushy grandmother.

Touching at times this film never quite fulfils it's promise but is still a good watch through out. Never overly melodramatic the film could be a little more hard hitting but is decent none the less. Chris Evans gives a really good performance that carries the film and is well assisted by his young co-star.
