The kids in the movie are each forced to look deep within themselves. Meg the biggest disbeliever learns to embrace her flaws and how to harness the strength to overcome evil.
Director Ava DuVernay (Selma, 13th), is the first woman of color to helm a $100 million budget Hollywood film is remarkable. Though, it is still shocking that it took the industry until 2018 to allow this barrier to be broken. We feel A Wrinkle in Time is a family fun film; the film seems to be an all-over-the-place journey.

The soon to be classic Disney feature film is a lot of fun for the family because it is all about believing in yourself, having hope and not to be jealous, or hateful of others. Take pride in who you are, take pride in you and to put family first. We all have hopes and dreams and A Wrinkle in Time tells us not to lose focus of that. Director Ava DuVernay, helps to tell a story to believe and anything is possible. Like Alice falling down the rabbit hole in Alice In Wonderland, A Wrinkle in Time is the perfect weekend movie for the family.
Reese Witherspoon is utterly enjoyable, but for us it was Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) who is the standout in the film. Deric and Reese are the protagonists of the film. They make the movie enjoyable and fun. Oprah is the wisdom and Mindy the philosophical and fun aspect. Overall, the movie is lots of fun, and visually stunning.
