A Wrinkle in Time is for kids, and I mean 'made for kids' in the supportive definition rather than the usual lazy and disparaging connotation that's carelessly applied to more lukewarm family films.

The visually impressive adventure saga gets bogged down in corny dialogue.

This colossal springboard from the family film of teen issues to the epic intergalactic adventure "A Wrinkle in Time" desires to be is more than a little haphazard.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2022

The film's visual and tonal approach has been pushed to erratic limits, overriding and distracting from the characters at its center.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 14, 2022

There is a lot for young audiences to be inspired and enthralled by in A Wrinkle in Time. If that's all that comes from the film, then it's done its job.

A Wrinkle in Time boasts all the eye-popping CGI that modern movie-making can offer, with brilliant colors and vast landscapes, but at the movie's heart is a simple but not-so-easy-to-live lesson...

The movie is often dazzling.

The fantastic journey through space and time was as engaging visually as it was narratively.

Contains good messages for kids and some visuals that will make your eyeballs dance and it is made with heart but - there's always a 'but' when I discuss this movie - it feels like it bites off more than it can chew.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

Creativity is at a minimum when every visual embellishment is abstract and patternless, as if the script was written without an outline.

The world that DuVernay creates for this unbelievably believable journey to take place is immersive and mesmerizing.

Some stories work far better in literature than on the screen, as the screenwriters scrap necessary connecting tissue to trim the runtime down to two hours.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 29, 2020

A Wrinkle in Time is more than just a movie.

| Original Score: A | Aug 1, 2020

Altruism something to be admired, but you've got to stick the landing somewhere in the process. A Wrinkle in Time, despite the talent of those involved, never really does.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2020

A Wrinkle in Time feels like a missed opportunity.
