The Girl with All the Gifts

The Girl with All the Gifts (2017)
Starring Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Sennia Nanua, and Glenn Close
Directed by Colm McCarthy
Written by Mike Carey
***This film is currently streaming via Amazon Prime***

Summary (in 500 words or less):  A fungus has turned the masses into zombies and some of the remaining British human population are attempting to figure out a cure via a small group of children who have been infected, but still retain many human characteristics including the ability to speak, learn, and empathize.  One girl in particular, Melanie (Sennia Nanua), holds the most potential, but her teacher Mrs. Justineau (Gemma Arterton) and scientist Dr. Caldwell (Glenn Close) hold very different opinions on how to deal with the young subject.



The RyMickey Rating: B
