A Wrinkle in Time is ambitious, hopeful, and brimming with imagination -- a timely rallying cry for everyone who (to paraphrase T’Challa) believes in building bridges, not barriers.
But it’s also messy, overwrought, and oddly paced, veering wildly from place to place -- much like its protagonists -- with no real sense of momentum. These are all shortcomings of Madeleine L’Engle’s book, which screenwriter Jennifer Lee (writer and co-director of Frozen) relies upon too heavily in some moments, even while making savvy deviations elsewhere.
Your tolerance for said shortcomings probably depends on your age bracket. There are moments in A Wrinkle in Time so full of whimsy and wonder that you’ll be instantly transported back to your childhood, the first time you realized that movies have the ability to send you flying through time and space, offering you an adventure beyond your wildest dreams. But then there are patches of dialogue so clunky, and plot developments so whiplash-inducing, your goodwill might evaporate as quickly as it appeared.
