A WRINKLE IN TIME

A WRINKLE IN TIME: While the juvenile stars (Storm Reid, Levi Miller and Deric McCabe are quite fetching and deliver very real performances, the supporting cast (Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Mindy Kaling and Zach Galifianakis) shines equally as bright.  But, the film is ultimately one big bore with too much technical mumbo-jumbo and two many messages to try to decipher.  Is this about family?  About bullying?  About self-worth?  It all becomes overwhelming and tiresome.   My biggest hate was Oprah's make-up.  Two much razzle dazzle for a character named Mrs.Which unless they were referring to what wig and what eyebrows she would wear next.
I will grant you that some of the special effects are unique (particularly the "flower" sequence)   But,  it was all a waste of time in my book.   The best thing.....The Christmas coming attraction for Disney's "Mary Poppins Returns."
