• A Third Birthday Wish:

  The Messier Brand

  Virginia Heffernan on the film version of A Wrinkle in Time:

  “… the film is also sad, and soaring. It recalls the hippie days when a perverse, hubristic originality was a quality to be cultivated, not medicated. Told not from an aloof remove– through the eyes of a wise Yoda or Peter Jackson– the movie glitters irregularly, woven through with the sparkling fibers of a righteous child’s tormented imagination. Steven Spielberg also attempted, with the same ambiguous but moving results, this messier brand of science fiction in ‘A.I.’”
