Following the World premiere in Hollywood last week the Ava DuVernay film “A Wrinkle In time” has received mixed press reviews, the film is the much-loved 1962 novel by Madeleine L’Engle’s. Hosted at the El Capitan Theatre it was the first public screening of the film.
This is a record for #DuVernay as it is the first time a black female director has been given a budget of more than $100 million this comes straight after the Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, successfully earning more than $707 million in worldwide tickets sales since opening in February and the film is seen as a historical moment for #’diversity in the film industry due to the predominately black cast and the African-set storyline.
Starring Storm Reid as middle schooler Meg Murry, must embark on a mission to find her missing father (Chris Pine). Meg gets help from three celestial beings called Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey), and Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) and Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon)
Formal reviews have been embargoed until the 7th of March but social media has been mixed and some say that they are those who just want the movie to fail.
