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. Read critic reviews

Feb 25, 2019Oh man, if I'd at any point ever had any faith at all in A Wrinkle in Time? I would have been sorely disappointed. Which is a shame on both counts, because it would be great if a film targeted at young people with both complex ideas and multiple women of colour in lead roles could have been like... Good.

Jul 28, 2018It's not without minor charms but given the talent involved and the strong source material, this should be so much better. Despite a few recent exceptions, this is just further proof that Disney is not the kind of place that artists can thrive.Alec B Super Reviewer

Jun 18, 2018I feel as though this film is some sort of punishment for not having read the book as a child. Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.

Apr 18, 2018Based on the much loved children's book of the same name, "A Wrinkle in Time" carries a great sense of wonder and awe bought towards it's narrative, even with a great sense of visual flare to go along with it's gifted performers the film is very watchable to all viewers or especially it's target audience (family/kids). However, despite the eye-catching gazes and genuine sense of otherworldly surrealism that perpetuates the hearts and minds of all audiences, it's neither a great film within itself, nor is it a great adaptation. This doesn't just account to how many liberties were taken in the adaptation process, but more within the overall story itself. It's perfectly elaborate scale and heart-warming messages kind of want to offer more than what was briefly glimpsed at or even explored in the overall narrative that would have benefited the overarching style of this film willing to be both faithful to it's source material counterpart and creative piece of family-friendly Disney-esque surreal cinema. Thus the overall film offers a decent viewing experience for it's moral/themes and sense of adventure, but doesn't fulfill the greater aspect of it's ambitions nor it's tremendous world-building mechanics to really be very measurable to it's source material counterpart. Recommended with caution nonetheless, especially to those within it's target audience.
