Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018) by Daniel W — 15 Mar 2018

I don't think I'm a completely unsophisticated filmgoer - fmy favourite film in the last couple of years is "The Lure", from Poland - does that help place me? But I loved this movie! I think DuVernay's directorial choices are daring, and I don't like all of them, but I was utterly charmed by most.

This is a child's story, told to and for children. If you go, let your inner child watch it. I haven't read the book, but I went with my daughter (BA in Comparative Literature, Masters in Libarary Science) who read it when she was 11 or 12, and she helped keep my expectations for the story itself realistic (youngsters who read it are powerfully affected but often surprised by its flaws if they re-read it later in life).

We were both delighted.
