A Wrinkle in Time 3D / Reviews
Variety
A Wrinkle in Time is wildly uneven, weirdly suspenseless, and tonally all over the place, relying on wall-to-wall music to supply the missing emotional connection and trowel over huge plot holes.

Ava DuVernay's film adaptation of it catches the sense of exhilaration and wonder that arises from the story's elements of fantasy.

The New York Times
Fans of the book and admirers of Ms. DuVernay's work - I include myself in both groups - can breathe a sigh of relief, and some may also find that their breath has been taken away.

The Guardian
The film has the feel of a iPad video pawned off on a toddler so Dad can make comforting mac and cheese - here's a bite-sized lesson about loving yourself and a jumble of pretty colours.
