Critic reviews

A Wrinkle in Time is no masterpiece. But it still has a wrinkle or two of its own that families can unpack and discuss. Full review

Plugged In

This big-hearted adaptation's payoff is more emotional than technical, but, thanks to touching performances, inclusive themes, and inspiring messages, it's easy to appreciate it. Full review
