Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018) by Tracy C — 28 Mar 2018

I am struggling to understand the horrible reviews. I certainly get someone just not liking the movie, but hating it? I actually loved it. I had to step away from the book and take the movie on its own merits.

I thought the cinematography was gorgeous and the message beautiful. I'm not sure why we can't just embrace a message of hope and love. We kinda need that these days. The message I took was that the "It" - darkness- whispers words of fear and hurt and anger in our ears, and feeds on them.

And that we each must overcome our own process of mind to help build light in the larger world. Even as Meg stood facing her brother in the "darkest of all minds"...you could see the neurons firing, telling her all the worst she had ever thought of herself.

She had to listen to the voices of light to overcome those thoughts, and by doing so she could help Charles Wallace win as well. Beautiful, I think. Watching love and courage of self win is not such a bad way to spend a couple hours.
