A very gifted actress - Gifted review by PM
This is an uncomfortably good film. It's uncomfortable because it is convincingly distressing; I am certain that nobody wants to see any child in difficulty: the portrayal of a child so bereft and betrayed was truly difficult to watch. You will need to remind yourself that she is just acting. If there can be an appropriate award for this then McKenna Grace certainly deserves it, she is utterly believable in her role.
Her performance is every bit as uplifting and inspirational as it is sad, and she expresses love and courage that seem to transcend the plot. She is that good. The film stayed with me for days, and no doubt will be with me for much longer. I truly hope that this young lady enjoys the fruits of her clear and powerful gift.

No computer generation! Wow - Gifted review by NC
At last a little US film with some acting a dialogue. No exploding livers or massive explosions. Also no big names sucking at the wage bill. Engaging little film and little star is quite the button.

A real gem of a movie. - Gifted review by BE
I did not know anything about this movie before seeing it. I didn't go to the cinema out of choice but I am so very glad I did. Mackenna Grace gives an oscar worthy performance backed up by a very strong cast. Loved it. Bit of difficulty with the American drawl (as usual) , other than that, perfect!
