Just saw Gifted - It was a WONDERFUL film, the kind of film it seems Hollywood almost never makes anymore - A family that loves but has major issues from past hurts and disappointments, and among other questions how best to raise a child with superior intelligence. The acting, writing, photography and story all were a complete knock out of the park. Now - You may be wondering why I mentioned in the title a certain cat named Fred who is the beloved sidekick of the little girl. Fully realizing this is a movie, NOTHING makes my blood boil like taking away a pet from a child, simply because it doesn't align with everyone's agenda, especially after she was promised by her "new" family that she could keep it. It broke her heart. And mine too, when I found it ended up at a kill shelter. Fortunately this is happily resolved at the absolute last minute. The entire film rings true; You feel as though You are in the same room with these characters and wish You could help them somehow. Again, this is fine, fine film - don't miss it.
