Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” from acclaimed director Ava DuVernay, is the perfect addition to your Disney movie collection! Personally, I have been known to stock up on the latest films before Summer and save them for those rainy days when the kids just don’t know what to do! This would be a wonderful surprise and pairing it up with the book-even better!
About A Wrinkle in Time:
More than 50 years after Madeleine L’Engle’s young adult novel “A Wrinkle in Time” was awarded the prestigious Newbery Medal, the big-screen retelling of this timeless classic takes audiences on a transformative journey, exquisitely illustrated through jaw-dropping visual effects, a stirring musical score and diverse, star-studded cast. Three celestial guides, Mrs. Which (two-time Academy Award® nominee Oprah Winfrey), Mrs. Whatsit (Oscar®, Golden Globe® and Emmy® winner Reese Witherspoon) and Mrs. Who (Emmy nominee Mindy Kaling), come to Earth to share their wisdom and love with struggling eighth-grader Meg Murry (Storm Reid) as she journeys across dimensions with classmate Calvin (Levi Miller) and younger brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) in search of her father (Chris Pine), a world-renowned physicist who mysteriously disappeared four years ago.
As fantastical as the film’s premise and imagery may seem, “A Wrinkle in Time” centers on a universal human need that feels particularly relevant and relatable today. “This is a story about belonging,” says DuVernay. “It’s about a girl who just doesn’t feel strong in her mind, body and spirit. But through this epic journey, she finds her strength and learns that the center of the universe starts inside her. It’s about Meg feeling like she belongs in the universe and has a mighty part to play… as do we all.”

My Thoughts:
I have never read this book and both of my boys insist that I do after we watched the movie. My boys are avid readers so they are a tough crowd when it comes to movies made from books that they have read. We had mixed feelings about this production. While I love the messages that this movie promotes and the amazing cast I wasn’t blown away. The girls in my son’s class disagree with me. They loved the movie and read the book as well. My feelings are very mixed. The acting is spectacular. I guess I was expecting more, possibly in the effects department? I’m just not sure. I would still say that it is worth the watch as I wasn’t bored and did want to know what was going to happen next. (as a non-reader I had no idea where the story would go)

I haven’t read the book. I had not even heard of the book until I started seeing people discuss the movie. I don’t typically expect a ton of effects in non-animated and non-action movies.
Kimberly Rambles says
The cast in this movie looks amazing! I honestly can’t remember reading it growing up so the plan is to read it with the kids soon and then get this movie! The story sounds very empowering.
MommyJenna says
I have not read the book but my kids have wanted to look at watching the movie. It might be next on our list to buy!
Tamara says
I loved the book and also really enjoyed the movie. I saw it with my daughter. Her best friend held her birthday party at the movie theater and most parents dropped their kids off but I said, “No way – I want to see it!”
Bree says
I was just talking about this movie with my roommate! We watched the trailer and it looks really good. I can’t wait to see it. I actually had no idea that it was based from a book!
June S. says
This movie sounds amazing to me and one that I would watch more then one time to make sure I catch everything. I loved Oprah Winfrey in the movie (The Color Purple) I really do want to see this movie.
Rebecca Bryant says
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie so much. I was so excited to get tickets for it and now can’t wait to get my hands on the DVD. The teen boy wasn’t as in love with it but it’s my fave.
Mariana says
I really enjoyed this movie. It brought the book to life in such a beautiful way!
