A Wrinkle in Time

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Wrinkle in Time is visually gorgeous, big-hearted, and occasionally quite moving; unfortunately, it's also wildly ambitious to a fault, and often less than the sum of its classic parts.

The fantastic journey through space and time was as engaging visually as it was narratively. Go to Full Review
Caryn James BBC.com Apr 26, 2018
3/5
The film's themes of love, family and self-acceptance are powerful enough to resonate with audiences. But the concept and casting shouldn't be the most magical parts of a fantasy film, no matter how enchanting its message is. Go to Full Review
Ryan Gilbey New Statesman Mar 29, 2018
What DuVernay has delivered is essentially a feature-length screensaver which operates on the assumption that cinema for children is a matter of bright colours and dippy sentiment. Go to Full Review
Caroline Cao Vague Visages Dec 14, 2023
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. Go to Full Review
Brian T. Carney Washington Blade Dec 8, 2022
The visually impressive adventure saga gets bogged down in corny dialogue. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review

Leia W Apr 27, 2019 I would have given a better result but I'm straight, white and male, so this movie isn't allowed for me apparently
Apr 25, 2019 The worst movie I've ever seen, hands down.
Han L Apr 25, 2019 This movie is a huge let down. The whole movie is quite one dimensional (get it). The visuals are awesome but the characters are weak, the is little to no world building, and the plot works much better as a book. The jokes are not very funny and most of the movie is filler that doesn't further any part of the film itself. It seems as if the production studio thought that they could ride the default publicity from a famous book adaptation featuring multiple women of color. It's too bad that they made a movie so not good that it contracts both of those factors. See more
Apr 23, 2019 A cinematically beautiful literary destruction. The timelessness of the story and dialogue, especially where Mrs. Who is concerned was lost in trying to make it "reverent" to our time and culture. The film's veering from the original story and the original dialogue is tragic and very disappointing. It wiped out the entire point of the parable and made the story itself one dimensional instead of the multi-faceted beauty that the book is. Just awful. See more
Harry L Apr 17, 2019 Considering that this is a Disney Movie I was very disappointed. It did not have Disney Quality or Depth. It was made more like a made for TV Movie. It didn't explain much, it was like they were trying to fast forward to the moral of the story. Kids would never get it, in fact I would think any child under 13 would be bored. Oprah's performance was stale, stiff, unemotional, and unmemorable. If she was supposed to be Glinda type guide she failed terribly. Reese Witherspoon on the other hand, overacted, too loud, too much all around. Mindy Kaling was dull also, seems I seen her on the cooking network. None of them had emotional ties to their characters they were just reading a script, not performing as a character. The little girl was OK, but she needs to be on Disney Channel for a while get some experience before taking on a movie roll. The bright star is the little boy Deric McCabe he took on a complex role with many twists and a lot of dialog and he handled it well for such a young boy. But he needs more experience also. Disney needs to lock this up way in the back of the Disney Vaults. See more
Theodore S Apr 13, 2019 There are few movies over the the years ghat have put me to sleep, but dear gods what a drag this was.. definitly nothing that gets watched again.. See more
