Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018) by Dan N — 24 Nov 2018

First of all, im a 32 year old male who watched this film with his 6 year old daughter. We are both mixed race but our skin color is considered white( which matters because this movie plays like a minority empowerment film at times I don't want people to think my love for the movie has anything to do with race).

I don't understand why this movie is rated badly. Yeah Oprah is in it and she's terrible, but honestly I couldn't stop crying the entire film. It's extremely metaphoric and aligns with my spiritual identity exactly.

I felt connected to the idea that love is our most important emotion and the idea of finding your true self through personal strife. I think people have taken this movie literally and missed the deep underlying point.

It had my daughter and me in tears because the things they handle in the film are very real for us (abandonment, obsession with work to the point of losing family, selfishness, mistrust of others, etc.

) If you are Buddhist, this movie will speak to you as it did to me. Ignore oprah and try it out.
