A Wrinkle in Time (PG)
Directed by Ava Du Vernay
ITS premise may be a simple one — good versus evil, light versus dark, with the power of love winning the day — but it is this film's strong and relentless heroine, coupled with its exquisite and breathtaking visuals, that will captivate and blow away its tween audience.
A Wrinkle in Time is based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic about middle-school student Meg (Storm Reid) who, accompanied by younger brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) and friend/secret crush Calvin (Levi Miller), is sent on a life-changing quest by three celestial beings (Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling) to rescue her renowned physicist father (Chris Pine).
He's fallen into the clutches of IT, an evil entity that is devouring worlds and is heading for Earth.
