Gifted

Gifted (2017) is a Marc Webb drama you can watch online on iFILM. Frank Adler, a boat mechanic, is raising his seven-year-old niece Mary in a sleepy Florida town. The girl does college-level math in her head.

Frank wants something simple for Mary: school, friends, a normal childhood. The trouble is, you can't hide a mind like hers. When Frank's formidable mother Evelyn learns what the kid can do, she files for custody, set on turning Mary into the prodigy she believes the world is owed. Chris Evans trades the Captain America shield for a quiet, worn-down everyman, and young Mckenna Grace holds every scene beside him. Octavia Spencer plays the warm neighbor Roberta; Jenny Slate is Mary's teacher Bonnie.

The director of (500) Days of Summer keeps it small and honest, asking whose life a gifted child actually gets to live. Sharp dialogue, real feeling, and one one-eyed cat named Fred. Stream Gifted (2017) online on iFILM.
