Could you spare a minute to comment of the current state of functional encryption?

If you want fully general functional FE, then no; constructions are based on something called "indistinguishability obfuscation", a crypto primitive that a) we're not sure exists b) has conjectured constructions that are ultra ultra ultra slow.
