The theme of the film comes with personal experience. One day in 1964, my 3rd grade teacher and school principal called my parents in for a conference with the news that I had been deemed "gifted". Make no mistake, I was not at the math prodigy level of our little Mary Alder in the film. But...
It's predictable and manipulative, yet 'Gifted' is a wonderful film. I loved every minute of it.
The Booth Bijou gives 'Gifted' 4.5 out of 5 stars. It will definitely be coming to the Booth Bijou Garage Theater in 3-4 months.
