This movie was a mixed bag with hokey moments throughout, some of the dialog seemed a little forced and tried a little too hard to be intelligent. A couple characters seemed superfluous and could have been left out entirely. That being said, there are truly beautiful moments in this film. Particularly dealing with trauma and the way we cope, or don't cope with it. Unfortunately, the ending just fell short and although I wanted to cry, it didn't quite come together well enough to allow me the catharsis that came with the conclusion. Overall, this film was engaging, intelligent and at times beautiful. Definitely one of my favourite low-budget films, and everyone involved should be proud of what they've accomplished.

Prodigy is a solid movie that happened to have a small budget. It has the feel of a theatrical play move than a big screen movie. Wonderful dialogue, some thrills and lots of emotion make this a must watch. A job well done by all involved in this production.

Grabs your attention from the start and holds it throughout! Great dialogue between the two leads. Have to say that Savannah Liles did a great job in her first lead role in a feature length movie. It is hard enough to be a brilliant psychopath, but to pull it off at age 10 is amazing. Richard Neil also shines as an unorthodox psychologist with a troubled past of his own. The tension grows throughout the film until the stunning ending. Highly recommended.

This movie is genuinely awful. Stilted acting, terrible script, predictable from the first minute. Even the camerawork is fourth rate. It does get two stars for reminding me that I liked the infinitely superior Morgan (2016). Watch that instead.

Well, I don't usually write reviews, unless the movie deserve it, and this one does. First of all, I was kind of not fond to watch this one, because I was on a streak of bad movies, and this one didn't inspired me hope or trust at all. I was wrong. It have its flaws, sure! It is an indie with super adjusted budget. But it i very good. Savannah Liles have it all, and I loved how she played 'Ellie'. FX are in some scenes, not over the movie, and were very good and effective when they were used. The bad: some things about the psychologist story with the agent who bring him to Ellie, and the actress for that character didn't conviced me. And Ryan's character was really stupid and was there for no reason (except for a 'nice' part near the end). Predictable end (is forgivable) The good: Great concept, good script. Good performances. THE BEST: Savannah Liles as Ellie (I need to see more of this girl) and the FX. Watch at your own risk. But for me it worth it.

This movie is worth a watch, despite its notorious low budget and evident flaws. These flaws include: a) An idiotic and uninspired musical score that makes itself noticed when it shouldn't, though it is just a sequence of long-sustaining and uninspired A and G notes; b) A couple of blatantly wrong choices in the casting department (the girl does a great job, the guy delivers competently, but the rest leave somewhat to be desired, specially those two dried-up tree stumps that were mistakenly and miserably cast as the lady agent and the army colonel... and don't even get me started on the ridiculously appalling figure of that African biochemist who acts like a retired old janitor who had a few 100 Xanax pills too much, probably dropped by mistake in his jello dessert in some Florida retirement home); c) Absurdly cheap-looking location: even I could have scrumbled a better location for less than $100. A couple more plus point: 1. It features chess games, but at least these are pictured according to chess rules (unlike such films like "The Girl Caught in the Spider Web", in which the characters that play chess don't even know how the pieces are supposed to move). 2. The ending is really good. Advice to big studios: secure the rights to this, then clean some of the BS, then get a real good cast, a great director and a few million $. The plot is solid gold.
