'A Wrinkle in Time' is a 2018 science fantasy film based on the 1962 young adult novel of the same name by Madeleine L'Engle. The film stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mandy Kaling, Chris Pine, Storm Reid and Deric McCabe. After learning her astrophysicist father (Pine) is being held captive on a distant planet, Meg Murry (Storm Reid) works with her highly intelligent younger brother (McCabe) and three astral travellers, Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who (Winfrey, Witherspoon and Kaling), to rescue him.

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) was an American author who won the Newbery Medal, the Sequoyah Book Award and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for 'A Wrinkle in Time'. L'Engle wrote several sequels to the book, 'A Wind in the Door' (1973), 'A Swiftly Tilting Planet' (1978), 'Many Waters' (1986), and 'An Acceptable Time' (1989). All her works tended to reflect L'Engle's Christian faith and her strong interest in modern science.

The 2018 version of 'A Wrinkle in Time' won the St. Louis Film Critics Awards for Worst Film of 2018. Critics complained of an overambitious use of computer-generated imagery and several plot holes. On the other hand, the producers were praised for including black actors in leading roles. The 'New Pittsburgh Courier' stated the film "continues to make lasting impressions on innocent minds to change what it looks like to be a young black woman".
