Both the New York Times and Washington Post have "Wrinkle in Time" articles in anticipation of the March 9 movie release. The NY Times focuses on filmmaker
Ava DuVernay while The Washington Post reviews the 1962 Newbery Medal Winner concluding that, "Artistically, the book is a mess; it's illogical, derivative and confusing, with a rushed and unconvincing ending. In 200 higgledy-piggledy pages, L'Engle throws together magic, folklore, science fiction, dystopian nightmare, Christian religiosity, 1950s fears about communism, classic notions about individuality and conformity, mystical transcendence, some slapstick humor and a lot of sentimental pablum. One starts to look for the kitchen sink. Somehow, though, this superabundance of cargo never manages to sink the book."
