But it’s not the how it ends it’s how it gets there where the true strength of the move lies. The storyline is pretty predictable at first and you know where it is leading. Even the lesser important characters like the two lawyers hold their ground. Jenny Slate gives a solid rendition of a caring teacher. An equal bulldozer of a performance (not surprisingly) comes from Octavia Spencer as the take-charge but doting neighbor. The old-money east-coast grandmother portrayed to perfection by Lindsay Duncan is another power-house performance. Add that to the brilliant McKenna Grace as the temperamental ebullient 6 years old genius and you get some of the finest chemistry between two actors. An uncle is caught between deciding to either let his 6 years old mathematics prodigal niece be sent to a special institution where she would be able to hone her potential and become a mathematics genius or to live with him and lead a normal life like any other 6 years old.Ĭhris Evans (aka Captain America, the Human Torch, etc…) is a real stunner in this one. It crawls up from behind you silently and before you know it, wraps its tentacles around you until you are hooked to every image and every word. But every once in a while along comes a movie that makes you sit back and think long after the end credits have rolled up. We get what we are looking for, all the time. Right up there with the likes of “A Beautiful Mind”… Really!Įveryone has his/her own reason for watching Hollywood movies… action, comedy, thrill, suspense, drama, superheroes, history… the list is endless.
