A Wrinkle in Time

11 March 2018: A Wrinkle in Time feels like an important movie to me. It isn't perfect, but its power is undeniable. After I saw it today, I was catching up on my Entertainment Weekly magazines and came across an interview with the cast (available in video form here). In it, Ava DuVernay puts into words what I was feeling:

"It’s hard to explain how it feels to have Storm say to [costar Levi Miller], Meg say to Calvin, ‘Do you trust me?’ — a little black girl to a Caucasian boy. And he says yes, and he follows her. You’ve never seen that before on film. And so those are transformative images."
