how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 43 comments (38 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 2 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The first two acts of the movie are quite enjoyable.”
Frumbles · Metacritic ↗
“It all falls apart under the complete nonsense of the third act, to the point of (fairly extreme) frustration.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Gifted isn’t the best or most sophisticated or most original film of the year so far — but it just might be my favorite.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“Comparisons to the classic 1979 Oscar winner "Kramer vs. Kramer" are inevitable. But Gifted stands on its own because it feels more like reality than a Hollywood take on family crisis.”
Edward Douglas, New York Daily News · 90
“In its details, in its characters and their relationships, in the unfolding of its story, and even in the delicacy of its filming, Gifted rises above cynical expectation. Far from a canned piece of work, it feels sincere and inspired.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“The film is decidedly emotionally manipulative without being cloying, and often finds real humor in the complicated situation that arises around a genius 7-year-old, played by Mckenna Grace.”
Brian Truitt, USA Today · 75
“You may find yourself wishing that Webb (“500 Days of Summer”) would just power through court. We’d gladly watch more of Grace and Evans silhouetted against the sunset, their connection evident in his indulgent posing as her makeshift jungle gym.”
Tom Russo, Boston Globe · 75

“Wonderful, moving story featuring the incredible McKenna Grace. Child acting at it best. She pulls you in and makes you take part in a range of emotions she expresses without fault.”

“Alright, let’s be real—sometimes you just need a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you with all the warm fuzzies. Gifted does exactly that. Directed by Marc Webb, this flick brings us Chris Evans as Frank, a guy just trying to give his niece, Mary (played by the scene-stealing Mckenna Grace), a normal life despite her being a straight-up child ****, here’s the thing—Gifted doesn’t exactly rewrite the playbook when it comes to family dramas, but that’s not a knock. It’s got a charm ”

“Good, but not great. A few, not many, funny lines. Best performance by Mckenna Grace. The best I can say is that it wasn't a good movie but it wasn't a bad movie either.”

“Extraordinarily conventional. It will surely appeal to devotees of this sort of thing, because it's well acted and has some minor emotional impact, but with the exception of what essentially boils down to a gimmick, _Gifted_ is just like a hundred other okay movies that deal with the same subject in the same way. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._”

“**One's fighting for the child and the other's for her gift!** Films about battle for child custody is a very familiar theme. There are lots of great films you could find. This is just another, but another great among them. There's actually nothing special about it. It's simple and emotional. The characters were slightly different, and agenda for courtroom drama is interesting aspect of the film. A single uncle who is a by-default guardian for his niece since her mother had died. But the s”
