Gifted

I liked this movie a lot. It is a Preview Movie - starring Chris Evans (the person who plays Captain America in the MCU) and a little girl - I think in her first role. It will be interesting to see if she continues in the movies. Anyway, the girl is the guy’s niece. His sister died and left him with the child. She is a math prodigy, as was her mom and her grandmother. The man, Frank, is no slouch either intellectually. But he is trying to raise the girl as normally as possible. So he sends her to school, only to quickly find that gifted gets noticed. And not always in a good way. The evil grandmother reappears and tries for custody. Lots of tears and such as the movie progresses. All in all, very enjoyable, though. If you like any of the actors or stories about gifted people, this is a good movie to watch. A little sappy, but I love sappy movies!
