This Disney+ movie is about a 12-year-old math genius who wants to become a rapper.
Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
