    At the cusp of the hero’s call, Reese Witherspoon dressed as Bjork would have in 18th century Russia tells the protagonist something along the lines of “Everything that has happened since the universe was born led to you being who you are – you’re special.” Sadly, the same could be said of Adolf Hitler or, perhaps, the movie A Wrinkle in Time. This is most definitely a special film because it reminded me of the true stakes of going to the theater. Viewer beware or abandon all hope ye who enter here: this is one of the worst movies I’ve seen on this level of production since Tim Burton’s Madame Pomegranate’s Fantastical Hovel for Persnickety Mutants. Unlike some folks, I’m…

    Oprah is a 100ft drag queen and Reese Witherspoon turns into a flying lettuce monster.

    When Oprah’s character was listing a bunch of ‘warriors’ like Nelson Mandela or Einstein, I thought she would say ‘Oprah Winfrey’ but she didn’t. Lame.

    it means well. this has a pulsating heart, beating deep beneath miles of mess. i can feel it, the movie itself constantly reminds me it’s there, but sometimes that isn’t enough the headlining actors make this a painless and sometimes joyful ride, and the child actors do bring charm to round out the cast, but the script is incredibly weak, and the plot is even weaker. and people claim that interstellar doesn’t make sense….. the visuals do heighten the experience, it’s clear that ava had a distinct eye for what she wanted, and she goes for it: the colors are saturated and welcoming, a lot of the camera movements are crisp and deliberate. if only they served a bigger purpose.…

    Kinda risible, kinda fascinating? When it’s bad, it’s at least weird-bad, but it also suffers from hitting its themes of empowerment and self-actualization home way too hard in every goddamn scene in case we didn’t get it already. I can’t hate a movie that immediately reminds me of Barry Levinson’s Toys, or What Dreams May Come. But I can’t love a movie that has a character who literally only speaks in inspirational quotes. This will be a hell of a Blank Check episode one day!

    If they don’t make a Disneyland ride of Reese Witherspoon’s giant piece of lettuce then what was the point?

    At a time when Disney would rather fund suffocatingly faithful (and/or toxically garish) “live-action” remakes of classic films than roll the dice on original stories for a new generation of kids, there’s something refreshing — and downright beautiful — about what Ava DuVernay has done with “A Wrinkle in Time.” Less satisfying than the recent “Pete’s Dragon,” but told with a similar degree of revisionist zeal, this eye-popping adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved 1962 novel scrubs away the Christian overtones of the source material in favor of some distinctly 21st century humanism. Jesus is out, self-worth is in, and it’s coming for your children via an $103-million orgy of special effects that starts with a giant astral projection of Oprah…

    eu tenho uma sensação estranha com esse filme vi ele na época no fodase e depois fiquei mais de 6 anos procurando ele e nunca conseguia por não saber o nome, recentemente passou um video dele no meu reels e eu pude achá-lo. Seila é uma sensação doida, não cheguei a revê-lo mas acredito que seja péssimo. Mas, a cena do quintal e o portal até hoje está na minha memória sendo o motivo de minha procura.

    Ouh la la… Je ne sais pas si les enfants (la cible du film) y ont trouvé leur compte, mais cela m’étonnerait. C’est mou, sans profondeur, avec une musique permanente qui nous dicte nos sentiments (ici pleurez, ici ayez peur, ici planez, ici battez-vous), c’est harassant! Un très gros raté de la part de Disney

    I understand this movie being on different levels of bad, but for younger me this movie was the perfect mix of whimsy and relatability (I love Meg and Levi Miller was my first celebrity crush). The best way to describe it is if my fake scenarios were put on the big screen.

    Honestly ROWAN BLANCHARD siendo la bully was NOT on my bingo card. Es una linda película, me la vi mientras que comía Doraditos. Me gusta mucho el vestuario de las Misses y me gusta el ambiente del Tesser. En ningún momento me di cuenta que la Miss.Quien era RESSE WITHERSPOON, cuando vi los créditos me quedé en shock. Me dio mucho miedo Charles Wallace.

    i watched this movie years and years ago and i always have random dreams from parts of the movie, so i wanted to rewatch and gain some of my memories back bcuz its a bit nostalgic. i love love love how colorful this movie is and it makes me feel like im a kid again. i love how scientific based it is and believing in the universe instead of god. ya most ppl think this movie sucks but i think…

    Sometimes books are just incapable of being brought to the silver screen. I used to deny that claim, believing that it only takes the right combination of creative and craft to bring any text to life. To be fair, I doubt late 2010s Disney and Oprah was a winning combination for any adaptation, but A Wrinkle in Time is such an abstract and imagination focused narrative that turning it into a CGI spectacle that turns the indescribable into uninspired visuals…

    the movie had good intentions and some pretty decent visuals, but omg it was such a mess 😭 I kinda thought it was ass, BUT I’m giving it this rating solely because of the super philosophical drag queens.
