ghoti_mhic_uaitWe saw A Wrinkle In Time last night, and it is the big budget film with a woman of colour protagonis that I dreamed of. Storm Reid as Meg was perfect, her acting magnificent while the rest of the film settled around her in a whirlwind of glorious costuming and directing. Tish from Doctor Who was a perfect Dr Murray, Charles Wallace was great, Calvin was a little bit away with the fairies but he gave me that impression in the book, too.
In general, it's been a while since I read the book and I noticed some cuts but I felt it overall kept very close to the book - Colin's read it more recently and agreed. If you liked the book, you may well like the film.
Special mention to makeup too. Andreas commented on how Meg looked like a normal person (albeit with 'glorious hair') and it's so nice to see a Hollywood hero who looks relatable.
