The Gift Ratings & Reviews

    A coming-of-age film with a distant father and loving mother. A lot is going on for just a couple of days, mostly a lot of drinking. In the end, a father and son bond over fighting and alcoholism. There is some decent acting in "The Gift," but I can't say I liked the story.
