Our suggestions
After the disappearance of Meg Murry’s scientist father, three celestials—Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who—journey to Earth to help Meg search for him. Traveling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination, where they are confronted by an evil force. To make it home, Meg must face the darkness within herself and find the strength to defeat the darkness enveloping the Universe.
"Albert Einstein taught us: it's all relative. Time is too, as is the movies - and this concept fits 'A Wrinkle in Time' like a glove. The movie, directed by Ava DuVernay (of 'Selma: A Struggle for Equality' and Oscar nominated for 'The 13th Amendment') and written by Jennifer Lee (who has an Oscar on her shelf for 'Frozen'), brings a message of empowerment, albeit lightly - which could have a positive effect on the new generations. It's certainly a work to watch with the family and let you be enchanted by the magic, just like children do. But to the more calloused eyes of those who have already grown up, its charm fades away and the movie's issues appear, which may justify the heavier hand of the critics. If you watch a movie with your heart, the suggestion is there. After all, as Einstein himself said, "imagination is more important than knowledge"."
